That's 905B, not 509B. The 509B does exist, but it's an older ISA card.
The 905B is now supported, but it looks like you forgot to add it to
your configuration file. I should've announced it too, so I'd better do
that now:

As of a few days ago, -current supports the 3Com 90xB family of adapters.
These are only PCI cards for now. There is a new driver for them called
'ex'. This driver will also handle older 'plain' 90x cards, but using
their DMA capability, so performance should be better.

To use the driver, specify this in your kernel config file:

ex*	at pci? dev ? function ?
exphy*	at mii? phy ?			# for 905B
nsphy*	at mii? phy ?			# for 905

The driver has been tested on the i386 and alpha. Let me know if you have
problems with it.
