FWIW Qemu emulates the above devices, some of which give significantly better 
performance than the default embedded NIC.

I've also used "real" boards with e100 PCI cards, both via a miniPCI-PCI 
adapter and regular PCI slots.  It's reasonably common to use third party PCI 
ethernet cards on ixp4xx boards to avoid having to mess about with firmware 
for the on-chip ports.
