Finally, I tried to boot our gateway machine into 2.6 (2.6.11.8
to be certain) kernel.  The machine is quite old, it's 100MHz
Pentium-classic, yet it works as a router just fine.

And surprizingly, this is the first machine I tried to upgrade
to 2.6 which does not work.

It have 4 3c509 cards, one EISA and 3 ISA.  Here's the dmesg
output when I load 3c509 module on 2.4 kernel:

eth0: 3c5x9 at 0x2000, 10baseT port, address  00 60 08 4b 31 bf, IRQ 15.

eth3: 3c5x9 at 0x5000, BNC port, address  00 20 af 99 f2 ac, IRQ 12.

(the last one, with IRQ#12 and BNC port, is EISA).


All the ISA cards are in EISA mode (set in 3c5x9cfg.exe utility).
IRQs are assigned by the EISA bus (set by EISA configuration utility).
If any of the ISA cards are in non-EISA mode, the some of them
does not work at all, starting from EISA BIOS config during boot.
So I can't switch the cards into PNP mode.

Also, I tried setting the cards manually with 3c509 module
parameters.  The only parameter one can tweak is irq=,
but it seems the parameter is ignored -- I tried
 modprobe 3c509 irq=15,7,5,12
but it still detects only the EISA card with irq=12, just
like without irq= line at all.



what does dmesg|grep EISA show?
