For entirely silly reasons I have two nubus cards (ae0 and ae1) and
motherboard mc0 on one machine.  It works fine, but only ae1 is actively
used.

The probe for mc0 is printed at an entirely different place in the boot
messages from the nubus probes that show ae[01].  Is it possible you get
both MAC addresses, but they are printed far apart in the dmesg?
