My ep0 (3com 589TP) works fine with 1.6/hpcmips in my z50. I get about
700k/s reading from nfs (server is 1.5.3/i386) with no special nfs
mount options. Not as fast as it might theoretically be, but still
quite ok and definitely very far from "appalling".

I have trouble with xi0 in 1.5.3, too, gives a lot of timeouts,
sometimes fails to initialize, etc. I have not tried that with 1.6 or
-current.

I always thought the card itself was probably to blame, I bought it
second hand.
