I would submit that Ethernet is asynchronous because it is an ad hoc
medium and synchronization occurs in-band and is per packet. ATM is
synchronous because there are certain timeslots and synchronization
occurs out of band.

Where's the clock?
Believe every Ethernet transmission starts with a series of one's and
zero's sent before the packet header.
This layer two header provides the clock. So it it's async before the
packet is transmited, and synced as the packet is transmited.
Does this help?
I have a better question for you, is ATM sync or async. Really? You
don't think there's a sync'ed clock signal on the fiber cables. About
as clear as mud huh?
