You were right!  I just stuck the card back in and booted, and I got:

ae0 at nubus0: address 00:40:10:02:e6:1f, type Ethernet A-Series, 16k mem.
ae0: length does not match next packet pointer
ae0: len 0000 nlen ff00 start 0c first 00 curr 20 next 00 stop 40
ae0: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 65280
...
checking quotas:Jul  5 17:20:36 thorn /netbsd: ae0: NIC memory corrupt -
invalid packet length 65280

No idea why NetBSD suddenly was able to find its MAC address... maybe I
somehow reset the card by taking it out and putting it back in, or maybe
it's because it was initialized by MacOS first.

The additional messages aren't covered by the FAQ - anyone know what they
mean?
