used the dos utility 3c5x9cfg.exe to auto config the card. i did change the irq to 11, and then selected auto config after that, and it changed it to 10. card is not pnp as per a bunch of web tutorials.

how do i get this NIC detected at boot up, or after boot up?

i tried to change the network settings after the install, yet it still comes up with no card detected. i'm assuming that i need to edit a file to make it work. help would be appreciated, esp as i have a bunch of old systems, and 3c509b NICs that i'd like to use....

You need to manually install the nic drivers for most isa cards.

Try opening an xterm an type:

sudo su
modprobe 3c509 irq=11
netcardconfig
exit


You also may get success without supplying the irq, ie:
modprobe 3c509

i tried modprobe 3c509 without the irq, and this did not work. i'll retry
with, and see what happens.

Hi,

I have the same problem. This trip corrects my trouble.
How could I insert it in a boot script in order to avoid typing it each time I reboot? (In particular, I would like to force DHCP mode without user confirm).

Thanks
