What sort of system are you trying to create? I got it to work in VHDL using the Altera Tri Mode EMAC and 10/100 mode. If you are doing it some other way (eg via C code in a processor) that won't help much.
Do you have the 88E1111 datasheet? If not, you need to get that from Marvell.

Marvell is a very secretive company. They will not release full device data sheets without forcing you to sign an NDA, and they will in my experience never sign NDAs with individuals, only with companies that they expect to purchase reasonable dollar volumes of parts.
Terasic made a HUGE blunder designing a Marvell part into their development board, because Marvell will NEVER release a full datasheet for their part.
Only those folks designing fully proprietary hardware that they would not even consider releasing schematics for should consider using Marvell parts.
Just my 2c. I used to work for a very big company in Silicon Valley and even we had to jump thru hoops to get detailed datasheets for Marvell parts.
