I'd be concerned that ventilation under the eaves would defeat a moderate amount of the ability of the fan to pull air from the house.
Or is that not done where you are?
As to my original post- I am talking about fans that are installed horiztally immediately above thier slats which close by springs and gravity. Yes, good attic ventillation from roof vents, eave vents or gable vents exist.
Some say belt drive is better and quieter- (rubber dampening of electrical hums and motor vibrations from big metal blades), but I agree with hayzee, our last belt drive required regular belt lube to manage rubber squeals.
