Sorry for the noise. It turned out both cards had plug and play
enabled. Once disabled, the install went easily and flawlessly.

When I reconfigured the cards, I also found an "Optimization" field
with "server" as an option. The 3c509s work significantly better with
this option set.

Thanks to all for your help and patience.
