Don't overlook the ASIX AX88796.  It is a NE2000
comapable 10/100 chip that will operate at 3/5v
and cost less than $10 (USD).  Haven't had the
opportunity to use one yet but they sure look
promising.
see <http://www.asix.com.tw>
also EDTP Electronics <http://www.edtp.com>
sells a development board for the part for about
$40.  It comes with a manual & source for using
the part with an AVR procesor.  They also have a
similar board for the CS8900 for the same price.
