Ethernet MAC

Hello. Looking for a free Ethernet MAC controller with MII (10Mbit). Does Altera has it?

I managed to reach about 80Mbits/s on a 100Mbs link. But as said, it required some tweaking... I got the highest speed improvements by putting the packet data in a double port on-chip RAM, and placing key functions from newlib, µC OS and the TCP/IP stack in a tightly-coupled instruction memory.

And yes, I used the UDP send benchmark for this measurement.
