I've never seen problems with the driver. Have you tried to pass some parameters like io=0x200 irq=10 to insmod when loading the module ? The only thing known to all isa cards is autodetection.
net-modules.txt sais:
3c509.c:
io = 0
irq = 0
( Module load-time probing Works reliably only on EISA, ISA ID-PROBE
IS NOT RELIABLE! Compile this driver statically into kernel for
now, if you need it auto-probing on an ISA-bus machine. )
Or put something like that to your modules.conf:
options 3c509 io=0x200 irq=10
