Yes, and there is a interesting new 10/100 PHY from NatSemi,
with a lot of nice features (low Power, MDI/MDIX, extended temperature
Range, 48-Pin LQFP BSC 0,5), DP83848I:

And with a transformer, e.g. Pulse H1102 or HX1188
http://www.pulseeng.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=ProductFinder.Chart&CategoryID=2026

i expect that all 3 things (AT91SAM7X256, DP83848I, H1102/HX1188) are available
through digikey in the near future.
