Hi Minh The 3c509 can be troublesome.
check your /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules Check if you have any options specified for the 3c509 mine just reads alias eth0 3c509 >From memory, don't specify the memory address in there and it should work Here is information I sent to someone previously > If you have a 3C509 ISA card, then there is a solution, which involves, > perhaps compiling this driver.
