Hmph, I was fairly certain I'd done a make world in there, since ps and
friends broke.

But I'm at -current now, so I don't have anyway to go back and check.

What was weird was that the 3com card would work fine, (with a re-compiled
kernel), so the de driver must've been tickling something that the ep
driver didn't.

In any case, it works just fine now, so I'm a happy camper.
