Sorry, it's more a question of me being sort of the wrong person to
have sent it to.  I don't have one of these cards and I'm not really a
networking guy, either.  I was hoping that someone else would pick it
up after testing it - I have no way of knowing whether a given change
is "better" or not where the ep driver is concerned.. :-(

If nobody else picks this up then I will be happy to bring this into
-current, but I'll be doing it blind..
