This is the right place.

The 3C509 has three interfaces: BNC, TP, and AUI.  The FreeBSD ep* driver 
doesn't auto-detect which interface you are using.  The card came with a 
DOS configuration utility that will let you set the card to use one of those 
three interfaces, or auto.  Make sure it's specifically set to the interface 
you are using.
