I have a 3Com Etherlink III wich identifies as ep0 and using that works 
like a charm :)

pccard0: CIS version PCCARD 2.0 or 2.1
pccard0: CIS info: 3Com Corporation, 3C589, TP/BNC LAN Card Ver. 2a, 000002
pccard0: Manufacturer code 0x101, product 0x589
pccard0: function 0: network adapter, ccr addr 10000 mask 3
pccard0: function 0, config table entry 1: I/O card; irq mask ffff; 
iomask 4, io
space 0-f; io8 io16 irqlevel
pccard0: function 0, config table entry 3: I/O card; irq mask ffff; 
iomask 4, io
space 0-f; io8 io16 irqlevel
ep0: <3Com Corporation 3C589> at port 0x100-0x10f irq 11 function 0 
config 1 on
pccard0
ep0: bpf attached
ep0: Ethernet address: 00:a0:24:ae:be:ad
ep0: [MPSAFE]

There is no wathcdog timeouts on that card and dl a iso image works fine.
