Which vendor and what appears to be wrong with the ethernet? I've had good luck
with the EA101 once I stopped trying to 'write eeprom' (only use the update!).
Since the Linksys had the wrong chip I didn't attempt to upgrade it I just
made sure it worked.

You can go hardwire, ALC is selling a dev kit (meant for Windows), I've
found some Lonworks stuff but the interface is expensive ($600+, US). I
haven't found much else yet. Though someone mentioned some wireless stuff
on CHA.
