The ef(4) device is currently broken. I haven't had time to look at it
much though it seems mostly correct by inspection so I'm not sure what's
going on.
If you could compile with debugging and get be a stack trace from the
panic, that might help be track this down. I'm assuming there's a path
through the code that I'm missing that results in using a bogus cast to
get an ifnet pointer and thus causes a panic. You might also try the
following patch which fixes a couple bugs I think are unrelated, but may
not be.
