I get a similar message from ae0 on my MacII with an Asant=E9 card, but the
interface works fine.... Config your hostname.ae0 file, and check to see if
it works.... I wouldn't be surprised if it does.

Does anyone know what causes this error?  I have installed a second Asant=E9
card, which mounts properly as ae1, and gives no error....  Getting
Netstats shows one error on the first interface, and none on the other, but
both work properly.

It's not a big problem, but it would be nice to see NO error messages on
the boot.
