Hello! Maybe, it could be a "normal" hardware resource conflict. But, why is the module loaded properly although the card has a conflict? I think, the card has a resource conflict, but the 3c509 module doesn't detect it. When ifconfig wants to configure the interface, it therefore cannot succeed. Hmm, as I said, the card works absolutely ok in pnp mode in my machine, but if you use jumperless, but non-pnp mode, you maybe have to assign the resources to this isa card in bios. In pnp mode, it could be possible that it has to be configured with isapnp (but not at my machine :)). Just write me some more about your hardware settings, maybe some interrupt and i/o listings from /proc and we'll see.
