The 3c509 is an anomaly in comparison to other ISA cards, in that
you DONT want to specify I/O (or irq) values.  3Com used a scheme that
allows relatively safe ISA probes, and specifying an I/O base will
do nothing but interfere with that.  (This is documented btw)

In your case, a simple

append = "ether=0,0,eth1"

should do the trick (assuming the ether= parsing is currently 
functional... :)
