If there are multiple cards in the computer, they are searched for
-in the following order:
-The 3c579 EISA cards are searched for first -- they will be found
-in EISA slot# order.
-Next, the 3c509 ISA cards are searched -- they are found in increasing
-ethernet address order.
-This is an example of how they will probe:

-You may specify the port and irq numbers that the cards are expected

The 3c509 card has no jumpers to set the address.
