My ep card started fine under 3.4, but choked with the eeprom messages when booting my new current kernel. I was able to get my card working by booting into the kernel configuration tool (boot -c) and disabling all of the other network devices which were compiled in. (This was with a generic kernel.) Once I had done that, the ep driver was able to work with my card. (Strangely enough, the ep driver doesn't appear anywhere in the kernel config screen.)
