I'm using a Micronics EISA VL-Bus mother board and 3Com's 3C509 Ethernet
card, with the EISA configuration setting since the board does't have ISA
slot.  FreeBSD 2.1 does list the card for ISA support in the kernel 
configuration file and suggest that it's "buggy".  Do anyone know of an 
EISA driver for the 3Com for BSD or a workaround for the Micronics board?
I tried setting ISA setting for the 3Com but when I reboot the computer 
it complains of a slot config error.

Any assistance would be appreciated. :)

Thanks
