I've had pretty good luck with the 3c509, the kernel finds it 
wherever I set the board to be at.  I am using this both with a
diskless (rom-boot) machine and with a standard disked machine.

One thing that i did find was that with the diskless machine, the boot
would work up until the probes were run, then the kernel wouldn't find
the card  and panic.  Increasing the delay from 1000 to 10000 on or about
line 213 in if_ep.c seemed to fix the problem.

hope this helps.
erich.

PS I'm running the snapshot form April 2.0.950412-SNAP
