As far as I know the 21143 is fairly new, and is included on the
DE500-BA.  II just got some, and the stock 2.2.6 kernel seems to work
fine with it.  970921 is a long time ago; did you try the driver
that's in -stable now?  There have been a number of commits since
then, and one of them pulled in the -current driver.

Here's dmesg output from a PII with a BA booting the 2.2.6
release kernel.

There are two cards; one is plugged into a 10Mb/s hub, and the other
indeed has no cable in it.
