I met almost the same result when I use "Farallon EtherWave" and "Radius 
PrecisionColor Pro 24XP"; Farallon' EtherWave can work with "Apple 8.24
Display Card".  What you saw, "ae0 at nubus0: ...", means the ethernet
card was recognized properly, I think.

Previously, jeff schindall (thanks!) suggested me:

So, there is good and/or bad convinations between installed nubus cards,
I think.
