Just FYI, the ie driver consistently fails for me after several days
of use, with an EE16 card.  The mode:  network activity stops (by the
hub light);  no messages are logged; ping returns "sendto: no buffer 
space available"; 'ifconfig ie0 down; ifconfig ie0 up' causes ping
to stop reporting errors, but no network activity occurs until reboot.

Strangely, I've never seen this effect with NFS traffic, only with X,
and specific applications seem to trigger it:  Acroread, or netscape, 
for example, but not ghostview.
