I don't have any familiarity with either of these, but a cursory 
inspection shows me that most AT91 chips use the MACB driver.  I don't 
see much in similarities between the MACB driver and the 9200 driver, so 
don't know if joining them makes sense.  I don't remember any discussion 
about this - can you send a pointer?

Is there a chance that you can port the AT91RM9200 driver to the 
NET_MULTI API?  Mike Frysinger just submitted a document detailing the 
process (doc/README.drivers.eth)  I've done this with several drivers 
and it's not very hard.
