Hi Hugh,

first, the unfortunately now EOL-ed Samsung S3C4510B/4530A (50MHz ARM7TDMI) come to mind. Seems as 
if Samsung dropped out of the network controller buissiness since they axed all their ARM7/ARM9 
controllers with on-chip Ethernet.
Then, there is Sharp with their LH79524/79525 controllers (77 MHz ARM720T) aimed at the mobile 
devices market.
All these are large 200+ pin monsters, no low-pincount controllers like the Philips LPC2xxx.
Some time ago, before Texas Instruments opened their TMS470 family to the mere mortals, there was a 
list on their web site naming all the automotive TMS470 controllers they produce/intend to produce 
and IIRC there was also a device with ethernet in a 100 or 120 pin package listed, but I can't find 
that page now.
It seems that most ARM devices with an internal 10/100-Ethernet interface are ARM9s now, obviously 
for performance reasons.

HTH,
Jens
