Well, I'm the original poster and the motherboard in question is a
somewhat older Micronics EISA board.  I've had no trouble with it running
NetBSD all these years.

I have neither a 3c509 nor a 3c509B.  It is a 3c579.  Definitely
pre-plug-n-pray.  I hope I didn't "step in it" by assuming that this uses
the same driver.  Any experiences with this card and the ep driver.
