Thanks guys. I added the option and the kernel compiled and booted,
seemed to recognize the cards:
tlp0 at pci0 dev 13 function 0: DECchip 21041 Ethernet, pass 2.1
tlp0: interrupting at irq 23

tlp0 is the one connected to the hub at the moment. When I tried to
bring it up the machine drowned under a storm of 'error: buffer ring
overrun', every once in a while it would throw up something else but it
sped by too fast to read. I guess this is why the tlp driver isn't ready
for prime time.
cheers,
