Sure. This is with the f14 bios:

  http://ward.vandewege.net/coreboot/m57sli/v1.1/m57sli-v1.1-f14-nic-in-black-pcie-lspci-vvvvvxxxxxx
  http://ward.vandewege.net/coreboot/m57sli/v1.1/m57sli-v1.1-f14-nic-in-black-pcie-dmesg
  http://ward.vandewege.net/coreboot/m57sli/v1.1/m57sli-v1.1-f14-nic-in-black-pcie-cat-proc-interrupts
  http://ward.vandewege.net/coreboot/m57sli/v1.1/m57sli-v1.1-f14-nic-in-black-pcie-acpidump

And this is with your latest patch:
