Not any more.  Take a look at drivers/net/fs_enet in the 2.6 kernels.
I'm sure Pantelis will have more information when he reads this.

Depends what you want to do with the data in the CPU core and the
clock speeds you have chosen.  The CPM can handle the data traffic on
the wires if you run it over 133 MHz.

Thanks.
