Might want to reread the FAQ.  NIC memory corrupt just means that there's
garbage stored in the memory.  This is frequently the case if it hasn't
been previously initialized by the MacOS.  It's mostly a diagnostic
message.

I just came in on this, so I'm not sure what's been discussed.  But, if
nothing else (configuration-wise) works, look at the main chip on the card
and see if it's one of: 8390, 83902, or 83932.  If it's one of the first
two, make sure the ae driver is attached at bootup.  If it's an 83932,
make sure the sn (sonic) driver is attached.  In other words, make sure
that if it says ae0 at obio0 or whatever, that you in fact have a card
that the ae driver works with.  I seem to recall at least one case where
the ae driver reportedly tried to attach to a sonic (83932) based card. 
Just a thought.
