What FPGA do you have? Can you use its on-chip memory blocks as memory for your system?

Do you need a full software TCI/IP stack too? If you just use hardware to receive and transmit Ethernet packet then you don't need too much memory. But if you need a CPU with a network stack it will be more difficult.
