I borrowed a 3c509B for testing and it works without this change. My card
is ASSY 03-0021-001 REV-A. The only problem I see is that it doesn't
allow autoconfiguring after soft reboot as 3c509 did. It's really very
inconvenient. Do you see this problem ? (I have 3c509 configured on
port? irq? so it really needs autoconfiguring).

Perhaps yes, but I need mode dosc to do that.
