Give more info on the hardware, and even before that check the mailing
lists. The most common reason I have encountered for such fails is IRQ
sharing with other devices. It used to be a documented with some boards
having onboard adapters. 
Have a look in dejanews. The 509 is now reasonably supported, and
usually autodected just fine.
