[SuSE Linux] How do I get TWO ethernet cards working on the same computer?

I'm trying to set up a SuSE 5.3 linux box with two ethernet cards - one
a 3com pci card (runs on the 3c59 modules), and the other a 3com isa
3c509B (supposedly runs on the 3c509 module). The pci card works fine
on eth0 with the 3c590 module, and that card connects my compter to the
net. I want to connect the 3c509 card to another the card on another
computer and then use masquerading to give the second computer access to
the internet.
Unfortunately, I can't get the 3c509 module to recognize the isa card on
eth1. When I do a modprobe 3c509, or an insmod 3c509, all I get is this
message:
3c509.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
I've tried setting irq=3D10. That doesn't help. What else should I be
trying? How do I find out what "device or resource" might be "busy?"
I have disabled PnP on the card (via a dos program provided by 3com),
and I know that the card works fine in the isa slot of another
computer. So the card itself is unlikely to be the problem?
So what else do I need to do? Is there some obscure incompatibility
between my two cards? Are they fighting for the same base address, or
what?
Thanks.
