[ILUG] Problem with 3com Etherlink III 3c509 ISA

[Dunphy Richard-rdunph01]

Just happen to have one of these....

With the DOS utility, you need to disable the Plug and Play. If this is enabled you would get the warning.

Also, 
I've mine set to irq5 and io0x340. I don't have to pass options when I modprobe it with these figures.

Rik.
