Most if not all of those are available as plug-in cards and hence can go
into anything that has a PCI slot.  There are definitely ARM boards that
fall into this category, though whether anybody is actually bothered
about using any of the above cards on them would be another question.

I worked on a design with SMC EPIC-100 onboard at one point but I expect
all those boards are in landfill now.

The NetWinder has a PCI NE2000 clone onboard.
