Now, only two and a half months later, I think I do.  That's precisely the
set of symptoms I got from my Ether3, and which was fixed by my recent
changes to if_ea.c.  If you're in a position to compile your own kernel,
could you do one with if_ea.c 1.3 and see if it works.  (If you can't
compile kernels, or anyone else wants to test this, yell and I'll do a
small test kernel for upload.
