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.

The current driver (fs_enet) can handle enets on every SCC. Nobody has
tested this configuration yet however.

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.

Your main problem will be dual port RAM conflicts with other peripheral.
In theory CPM can handle it.

Thanks.
