No. insmod does not look in /etc/conf.modules

That should be: insmod 3c509 io=0x300

It will only work if 0x320 is the actual address of the card.
In your example, the address of the first card is 0x300 and
the address of the second card in 0x320. What the actual
address of your card is, I do not know. However, it is
probably not an issue. A simple "insmod 3c509" will probably
auto-detect the address. AFAIK only a ne2000 ISA card requires
an address in the insmod.

Cheers,
Steven
