Also see http://www.scyld.com/network/3c509.html which tells us Only the IRQ and transceiver setting may be overridden when using the driver as a module. Setting two cards to 10base2/IRQ10 and AUI/IRQ11 is done by using the xcvr and irq module options: options 3c509 xcvr=3,3 irq=10,11 i.e. the option io *is not* available when the code is loaded as a module - hence the error. You may have to play with the values for xcvr - I think I got by with xcvr=3 irq=10 (but try xcvr=0 if this doesn't work).
