get the latest snapshot of 2.6.12, and use the opencores driver. you need to implement the opencores 10/100 mac inside the fpga - you have a phy chip, while teh lan91c111 is a mac/phy

Thanks.

But the OpenCores 10/100 MAC which you refer is this?

http://www.opencores.org/cvsweb.shtml/ethernet/ (http://www.opencores.org/cvsweb.shtml/ethernet/)

I tried to compile it in Quartus but I&#39;m in trouble for a lot of question. I&#39;ve to make a New Component in SOPC Builder, that&#39;s right? But, when I start the New Component Wizard, SOPC ask me for many question like "signal", in example, which I don&#39;t have any idea. In documentation, I don&#39;t see any reference about this and I haven&#39;t find any manual for implement this OpenCore driver in Nios.

Can you help me?

Thanks a lot.
