I've had a simular problem. Solved it by claiming IRQ 10, which was 
set on the ethernet card, in my cmos for ISA. 
The problem is that a plug'n'pray card thinks it should use the same 
IRQ as your network card. Probably the video card.
So your solution is to set the 3c509 to an irq and no plug and play 
support. Then get into the CMOS setup and go to plug and play 
configuration. Set the irq to used by ISA.
That should do the trick.

Greetings,
Edwin
