modprobe 3c509 io=0x300,0x320,0x340 irq=10,11,15
Only one device was detected. I have looked at the code and found out that
the 3c509 is different. It support only a single device when loaded as a
module. Further, loading the module 3 time is not an option. The 3c509 has
some magic to probe and a special static variable in 3c509.c is there to
differentiate the different adaptor at probe time.
Anyway, I have fixed this driver so it behave like other adaptor. The
change affect only the #ifdef MODULE ... #endif section. Here it is. This
is against 2.0.25.
