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
