I had much the same problem with my 3c509 combo. I was trying to setup a
box to do ip forwarding, and had installed a 3c900 and a 3c509. The system
would recognize the '900 but not the '509. I tried just about every way
that I could think of to get the system to recognize the '509, but just
couldn't. I then read that if I recompile the kernel (which is really
easy, read the FAQ), I might get the system to recognize the card. During
the module selection, I added the modules for both of the cards, and then
finished with all the make/compiles. After a reboot, still no card. I
eventually added a line to my /etc/lilo.conf to add the info about the card.
Here is what it looked like:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
#this line added to initialize the second NIC
append="ether=10,0x300,eth1"
#end of additions
read-only
Don't forget to run lilo after this modification.
Hope that helps you.
