So pacman -Syu doesn't want to upgrade anything more?
Now network and transmission are going off topic, but-
Network, install netcfg (somehow) probably by going here
http://us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/arm/Copy /etc/network.d/examples/ethernet-static to /etc/network.d/
Edit /etc/network.d/ethernet-static
Edit /etc/conf.d/netcfg and put ethernet-static where you see last in brackets
net-profiles replaces network in DAEMONS line
Transmission, you have to get this file and put in /etc/rc.d
