It doesn't look possible, at least to get one with decent performance.
 Ethernet controllers that aren't PCI aren't very popular.  I think
something like the SMSC 9115 would be able to hook up to the CPU, just
not on the board as designed.  It's already supported in Linux
apparently.

Hopefully there will be a BeagleBoard 2.0 with Ethernet on board. :D
