On closer inspection the 3C509 is the ISA card. What I've got is the 
3C590... which is the PCI version :/
Just slotted both into a Win95 machine again and that thinks they're
BOTH 3C509s   ... go figure.

Anyway, I found the vx driver for the 3C590 at
http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~fgray/if_vx.html BUT that only seems to 
work with -stable not with release 2.1
