Gigabit Ethernet with pci interface

Hi everyone,

i have custom board with an Intel 82540EM gigabit ethernet controller. Now i want to integrate it in uClinux. My question is how to do this in uClinux and nios. Did anyone do something like this before (interfacing a pci device in general). Are there any issues that i need to know?

I know i need a controller: I want to use the pci controller from OpenCores.org. Afterwards i will have to modify or writing drivers.

Any hints, tips and information to start would be great

Thanks a lot
