nForce 2 - network support in -CURRENT?

I've just purchased a new box to replace my dying one.  Having utterly
failed to think the hardware support issue through I just bought a cheap one
- with an nForce2 Ultra chipset (it's the Shuttle SN45G system).

A quick trawl suggest that, as yet, -CURRENT doesn't yet support the network
chipset, though somebody has/had work in progress (as of October 2003).
Does anybody know what the state of play is?

I can drop a spare PCI network card in, but it'll require a little rework as
I'm currently running a multi-port serial card out of it and the box only
has one PCI slot :)

TIA
