Well, IIRC, the error messages given on your ruffian were related to checksum errors.
If the interface still doesn't work, do you have any further error messages, logs or the like ?
Of interest would be:
- /proc/pci entry
- driver used ( including optional parameters )
- ifconfig -a output
- proc/net/dev contents ( after some tests )
I really can't imagine, that *any* 21143-based card, that gets initalized by ARCS
correctly does not work in Linux.
As discussed earlier ( via chat in #alphalinux ) try fixing the media-interface to
the settings supported by your Hub/Switch/whatever. That is, try setting
10baseT, half-duplex.
Given the driver is setup correctly, no broken hardware and fixing interface characteristics,
at least I'm running out of options ;(
