Linux definitely supports the 3c509B - I'm using it under RHL 5.2 and it
works fine. One question, though: I remember the DOS setup program for
the 509b telling me something about having to do a hard reset after
switching PnP off - did you do that? Other than that, I simply selected
the IRQ and the right transceiver (did you check that? "auto" doesn't
work for Linux, AFAIK) and it worked.
HTH,
