Microchip ENC parts

I have a product designed in 2010 that uses the ENC28J60 10 Mbps Ethernet
controller chip. The system uses the Microchip Library for Applications
(MLA) and is maintained with MPLAB8.

In installations, I'm having issues with the wire being saturated by
multicast audio being sent to the product. The switch should NOT be
sending the multicast audio out this port, but apparently the switch is
dumbly converting the multicast to broadcast and sending it out every
port. The saturated wire is keeping data from getting to my product.

I am looking at changing to the ENC424J600, which supports 100 Mbps and
autonegotiation. It is also supported by the MLA.

I'm not aware of any other chips that would be supported by the MLA and
the rest of my code, which is based on the MLA. I'm using the SPI
interface to the ENC chip with a PIC24H controller.

So... are there any other Ethernet chips similar to these two that could
"drop in?"

Thanks!
