If you don't happen to have the 3c5x9cfg.exe utility you can find it here: http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/3c509/3c5096.1.htm which is a 2 disk package. Extract the contents from disk 2 and you'll find it there. Boot into DOS and run the utility, choose an appropiate range somewhere between 0x200-0x3xx. In /etc/modules you should just have to insert io=0x200,0x300 next to 3c509 as I remember it. I don't know if Bering's kernel 2.4.x needs any extra parameters, that's how I did it with the ne module with a 2.2.x kernel. I have been using one 3c509 card since '97 without a hitch...
