ip addr
should show all the available NICs.  The firewire interface will have a
line that starts with: link/ieee1394, whereas ethernet NICs will show
link/ether

I am curious to see the output of lspci to see what other devices are there.

Perhaps "grep eth /var/log/dmesg"
to see if there are errors on boot.

I would check to see if the module loaded correctly, in your case
lsmod |grep atl1
should return somethine.

If not, try modprobe atl1
Note that the end of the module name is a lowercase "L" followed by the
number one.

This is supposedly supported in 2.6.21, and it is included in the
64studio 2.0 release.  I am not sure about earlier releases.
