The if_ep driver is generally 'better' than the if_zp driver since I've been the only one bringing over bug-fixes to the if_zp driver, and I haven't been very dedicated to the task. In any case, if_zp will be gone by the time 2.2 is released when we have the ability to install via the PC-CARD stuff. Nate
