I have the same problem with my 3c509b. I dual-boot W95 and Debian (stable). Initially, when I was using loadlin, I used the 3COM DOS setup utility when I switched between the OS's to toggle the card into and out of PnP mode (PnP for W95 and nonPnP for Debian). When I decided to go with lilo, this became impractical and I decided to try to get W95 to talk to the card when it was not PnP (not an easy task for me). Now, I need to press 'reset' when going from Debian to W95 for W95 to recognize the card. I suppose I could have tried to keep it in PnP mode and get Debian to deal with that (except that I have never played around with isapnp before). I do not know if this would influence the situation.
Does anyone alse have any helpful ideas?
