The problem you're having rings a bell with me. As I recall there are
multiple cards that match the "ae" driver probe. I seem to recall
there being two variants of cards from Apple that did and the addresses
each used were different. One of the cards I have probed and worked
fine with NetBSD 1.1 or 1.2, then someone came across a variant card
and the driver was updated with new addresses. After that my card
wouldn't probe correctly. I don't know if this is still the case as I
switched to a Sonic card.
I think I still have that old card and I'd be happy to pop it in and
see how it works now.
