See Altera's "triple-speed ethernet megacore function user guide (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_ethernet.pdf)". This supports 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet. Note - this IP requires a license. This will give you the MAC but not the Phy. You'll need an external device to implement the Phy.

M.2 PCIe x 4? Arria V FPGAs support PCIe Gen2 x4 if that's what you mean. Refer to the "arria v avalon-mm interface for pcie solutions user guide (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_a5_pcie_avmm.pdf)" for full details.

Cheers,
