Yep, I have three 509's (not sure exactly which models) in my smoothwall
box. If you just boot up into dos using their util program, and set
your configuration from there. After you set/verify your irq's and
everything, the card _should_ go in pretty smoothly.

Also, you may need to turn the 'PnP OS' option in the bios off. I don't
recall at the moment if this is required for the 509's in *nix, or just
good practice in general :)
