Of course it would be helpful if you have the time and some to submit bug reports and patches.

You need to actually make the devices using the MAKEDEV script in /dev. (see the man page for MAKEDEV) > 3.

Well, we would need more information to answer that. In particular, the appropriate line from your kernel config and dmesg output. Also, have you had another ethernet card working? Is your network configured at all? What's ifconfig -a say? What's netstat -r say?
