my NIC doesn't work .My os is RHEL5.1/32bit/dual core intel cpu. the
ifconfig output:

eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:55:7B:B5:7D:F7

[compton ~]$ etherwhois 00:55:7B
Non-existent address as of Feb 24 10:03:16 UTC 2008 OUI file
[compton ~]$

That doesn't look good.

why the frame value(21668) so large?

You can't talk to the NIC - you may be using the wrong driver. The
actual meaning of a Frame error is that the number of BITS is not
exactly dividable by 8 (bytes) which is wrong because an Ethernet
frame is always and exact number of bytes in length. This usually
indicates a hardware failure, but can also be caused by using the
wrong driver.

It would appear that the device is unknown. You might try using the
search engine you are posting from - a search for 'Airgo NIC Linux'
turns up some information, and might be a starting place.

Old guy

This PCIE NIC is designed by myself. i just borrow Airgo vendor/device
ID random. it isn't any product if Airgo.

ifconfig command shows one good packet of RX side,Tx side is not any.
do you mean the large frame value is from Tx side ?
