I've tried your driver, but I'm not a specialist of device debug.
So far I've tried :
--
wget http://www.springdaemons.com/stas/if_ae-1214569185.tar.bz2
tar xvfz if_ae-1214569185.tar.bz2
cd if_ae
make
sudo kldload `pwd`/if_ae.ko
ifconfig ae0

--
Just after the last command the ae0 interface show up and give
ae0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	options=8<VLAN_MTU>
	ether 00:1e:8c:bc:9f:7a
	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
	status: active

/var/log/message contain :

Sep 17 09:55:56 eeebsd kernel: ae0: link state changed to DOWN
Sep 17 09:56:37 eeebsd kernel: ae0: link state changed to UP

But all test to use it freeze the system :
ifconfig ae0 up of dhclient ae0.

Tested on 8.0-CURRENT-200809

Can I test anythink else  ?

Thanks for your work !
