Not yet, I don't think it is.

Most elements of Nasta's Aurora II design are tried and tested, but the
ethernet part is completely new. I would be inclined to suggest a short
run of prototype ethernet only QL-standard expansion cards to go to
developers. Once the hardware exists, it becomes an option to form a
working group to produce drivers and a friendly API.

We're looking at a few hundred pounds for the hardware, and
hundreds->thousands of hours for the drivers...
