I had a simple design on the Nios forum, but not as good as thi one from the wiki. It would work only in gigabit mode.

But if on your design the PHY doesn't even autonegotiate a speed, the problem must be a simple one, related to signals directly connected to the PHY. Maybe the reset signal, a clock, or one of the MDIO signals. You can try and find the differences between your design and the wiki example in those areas.
