any thought into absorbing portions of nfo driver into nge (nVidia ethernet)

Description
I'm curious if there has been any thought into absorbing the missing nVidia ethernet device support found in the nfo drivers into the maintained nge driver. It appears that nge contains from nForce4 and onward.
nfo driver adds as well: (from http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
in nfo_gem.c
static struct chip_info nfo_chiptbl[] = {
0x10de, 0x01c3, "type1 (nForce MCP)", 0,
0x10de, 0x0066, "type2 (nForce MCP-T)", CAP_RESET,
0x10de, 0x00d6, "type3 (nForce3 150)", CAP_RESET,
0x10de, 0x0086, "type4 (nForce2 MCP-R)", CAP_JUMBO | CAP_CKSUM,
0x10de, 0x008c, "type5 (nForce2 MCP-Gb)", CAP_JUMBO | CAP_CKSUM,
0x10de, 0x00e6, "type6 (nForce3 250Gb)", CAP_JUMBO | CAP_CKSUM,
0x10de, 0x00df, "type7 (nForce3 250)", CAP_JUMBO | CAP_CKSUM,
I notice that freebsd uses a unified driver called nfe.

Thanks in advance,

I've long thought this was a good idea. I don't have any systems with the 100 Mbps nvidia ethernet though, so I can't do the work.

I am pretty sure my chipset, (proposal to Garret and Richard) s a MCP61, I would be willing to "test" any code for this Feature #1036.
FYI, my test system is a Compaq Presario CQ5329F Desktop, SKU BK137AA, Motherboard: M2N68-LA (Narra6), Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, Realtek RTL8201N 10/100 Mb/s - full specs at http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=4079828&prodTypeId=12454&objectID=c02035420.
