13 years agoHi Dan,
That was a while back but if I remember correctly, I didn't get past this problem. One thing I have had luck with is a VHDL MAC and stack from comblock.com. It's designed to work with that same phy so it's configured correctly for the hardware from the beginning. Both pieces worked pretty much out of the box in a very controlled test. I was able to open up a socket and transfer a pretty large block of data in and out. It being pretty low level, there are several features that aren't included as indicated in their documents. It's been a low priority so I haven't really gotten back to it since proving my hardware worked. Hope this helps. If you end up getting the Altera MAC working with the Micrel device, I'd love to see what the problem ended up being. I'm sorry I couldn't help more. Good luck, Scott
