What is the US-trash-com chipset and what makes it 'trash'? Is it poorly 
implemented hardware or problems with drivers? Or something else?

This machine uses wpi and bge. Both devices seem to work ok chucking 
files around a domestic network.

wpi0@pci0:8:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x135c103c chip=0x42228086

     vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
     device     = '10418086 Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN controller'
     class      = network
bge0@pci0:2:14:0:       class=0x020000 card=0x30aa103c chip=0x169c14e4 
rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
     device     = 'BCM5788 Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet'
