I took the card out and had a closer look: I can't see any Motorola chips 
on the Ethernet card itself. The chips that are present on the card are:

 1 Valor SF1043
 1 Sonic DP83934
 1 AMD
 2 Texas Instruments
 2 unbadged (but too small to be a 68k)
 4 NEC

The only Motorola chip that's visible anywhere is the 68882 on the Nubus 
adaptor.
