This might be caused by a misconfigured BIOS. 1- If your card is in PnP mode, you must tell to the bios that your OS is PnP aware and the card IRQ must not be assigned to ISA. 2- If your card is not in PnP mode, tell to the bios that the card IRQ (10 in principle) is assigned to ISA. I have 2 machines with 3c509 boards. I have had problem 1 with one machine and problem 2 with the other :-). In both cases connexions were extremely slow (i.e. unusable).
