Sounds like you need to edit /etc/resolv.conf and change all the instances of
"3c509" to "3c59x" :-}. Having "3c509" in there will keep it from starting
automatically.
If you have neither "3c509" nor "3c59x" in there, then just startx as root
and click on the button in the control panel that looks like a deformed tooth
but is actually supposed to look like a kernel of corn (for configuring the
kernel daemon, get it?). It'll toss up a little dialog box, and just "add" an
interface, of type "eth", when it asks which module select "3c59x", when it
asks for parameters DO NOT ENTER ANY PARAMETERS (3c59x module autodetects the
network card). Click on "Restart Kernel Daemon" and voila.
