I don't think there is any support in the tree, however I wrote a minimal CDC 
Ethernet driver a while back in order to talk to my Zaurus.  Been meaning to 
throw it up on a web page or something but I just keep getting too busy :-/

It's pretty bare-bones -- doesn't implement some of the features that a "real" 
CDC NIC would (multicast, etc.), but is enough to talk to simple devices like 
the Zaurus.  I've never tested it on anything else -- I suspect it wouldn't 
be too hard to adapt though.  If you're interested in looking at it I'll send 
you a copy or post it somewhere.
