While I tried to setup the driver I always let one machine
outside ping it.

It is not just the message.

ozean:~ # modprobe 3c509 ; ifconfig eth1 192.168.4.17 up

eth1: 3c5x9 at 0x360, BNC port, address  00 60 97 39 43 b9, IRQ 5.

- the light on the hub keeps off, no ping answer

ozean:~ # ifconfig eth1 down ; rmmod 3c509;

ozean:~ # modprobe 3c509 xcvr=4 debug=4

## xcvr=4 is TP (found on scyld.com/network/3c509.html)

That's it! The cable & the hub are okay.
