Simple Networking Question

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

The 3COM 509 should be recognized by Linux. Make sure you mave the 
correct module built that supports the 509, and make sure that eth0 is 
correctly aliased to that module. Remember that there are several 3com 
modules. You need the 3c509.o module. 
The line in modules.conf should look something like:
alias eth0 3c509
