It should work.

This is the card device.

This is the network interface device, which needs to be connected to
the card device as a parent.
Then it would look like:
/devices/isa/3c509.0/net/eth0
and only then the persistent rule generator will kick in.
This needs to be fixed in the kernel driver, it needs to set the
parent device of the netdev before it is registered.
