Btw, you might want to use the 'ex' driver now. Just replace your 'ep' line
in the config file (probably something like):

	ep*     at pci? dev ? function ?

with

	ex*     at pci? dev ? function ?

This driver uses the busmaster DMA functionality of the card, and should give
you better performance.
