I think the RAM part should work under OS 4.1, it's plain Zorro RAM. Ethernet probably is another story. There's a 3.x driver for DM9000 chip, perhaps OS 4.1 would call for a native one. I don't know how different 4.x is from 3.x.
As long as it's system conforming, the 3.x driver should work. Several older Zorro ethernet cards (eg. the C= 2065) work fine on OS4.1 classic, with the 68k driver.

If I go for another redesign twist, the result could probably be named something like 'Sputnik' or 'Gagarin', waddaya think?
I like Sputnik, since I'm a space geek ;-)
