The 5940 works just fine with the en(4) driver.

What traffic contract do you have? If you need CBR I would recommend a
ForeHE-155 (see hatm(4)). These are now cheap on e-bay. If you need VBR
you should stick to an IDT77252 based card - the ProATM cards are very
fine (www.prosum.fr) (see patm(4)). For UBR either card should do it. For
ABR you can use either the ProATM or the HE155.
