Hi,

As a test, try this command as root:

  ifconfig inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

This should be doing the same thing as the rc script on startup.  Aftr
this command run

  ifconfig ae0

to see if the interface is up or not.  At least from your dmesg output, it
looks like the kernel is recognizing your NIC.
