Ok, people: do you have any idea how _unhelpful_ it is when all
you say is you have "the latest drivers?" You have, right in front
of you, the names of the files you downloaded, and even the version
numbers. Couldn't you just say what they are instead of forcing me
to play detective? Please don't assume that I'll be able to find
same "latest" files that you have.

Something is very wrong here. I really don't think ac:e9:03:00:00:00
is a proper MAC address. Please take a step back and tell me just
which driver files you're trying to use. (Also, note that the surest
way to get a card working is for me to get my hands on one so that
I can debug the problems myself. It's almost impossible for anyone
to "help" me by offering to test patches since I have no idea what
to patch unless I have the thing in front of me.)
