  [[Someone Official told me that the right place for this is the
    freebsd-questions list, but approval of my membership of that
    list (the e-mail address I gave was trivially different from
    the one the listserver expected...) seems to be taking a long
    time.]]

The FreeBSD handbook says that the 3c509 ethernet card is supported,
but mentions that the driver is "buggy". What sort of level of bugginess
are we talking about here? What doesn't work, under what circumstances?
