"3c509 / 3c509B
Status -- Supported
Note: Donald has an updated driver for these cards that is not presently in the default kernel. It fixes harmless irq N for unknown device messages at boot, has better handling for the 3c509B Plug and Pray cards, and recovers from certain adapter failure status values."
The updated file is at cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov:/pub/linux/drivers/3c509.c Try http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/3c509.html for more info.
I have tried using the updated driver with 1.3.70 but can't get it to compile as a module - have not tried building it into the kernel but I would suspect that would fail as well :(
Adrian.
