ep0 is the correct driver for the 3C509 series. Looks like you might need to 
recheck your kernel configs. dmesg should read something like this:

ep1: <3Com 3C509B-TPO EtherLink III (PnP)> at port 0x210-0x21f irq 3 on isa0
ep1: Ethernet address 00:a0:24:b8:b9:e5
ep2: <3Com 3C509B-TPO EtherLink III (PnP)> at port 0x220-0x22f irq 5 on isa0
ep2: Ethernet address 00:60:08:03:d5:06
