The ep driver in 4.0 automatically detects the configuration of your NICs,
which is why it doesn't show up in the configuration menu. It works fine
in 4.0:

ep0: <3Com 3C509-TP EtherLink III> at port 0x210-0x21f irq 7 on isa0
ep0: Ethernet address 00:a0:24:d8:0a:b3

The other change is that all you need is 
device ep
in your kernel configuration file.
