Hmm, we're running fine here with a 3C503, but on a thin wire. Assuming
the 3C509 were register-compatible (i don't know), you should do:
. config
device ec0 at isa? port 0x250 net irq2 iomem 0xd8000 iosiz 8192 vector ecintr
(whatever you chose for port/iomem; chose another irq if you suspect problems
with you VGA irq line)
. ifconfig ec0 inet mumble.foo.do.main aui
^^^
I didn't test it yet, but there had been a patch in 386BSD i assume will
be included in NetBSD that will accept this.
(Yep, i've just tested it with our BNC-connected boards. Sigh, it works,
but i forgot i've been network-logged-in:-))
