This example is really outdated. If you go to the kit's page (http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-cyc3.html) on Altera's site, you can download the latest documents here: ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/devkit/cycloneiii_3c120_dev_kit-v9.0.2.exe

The standard example here includes the Ethernet interface.

That download includes the Ethernet interface for lwIP or simply the latest TSE interface? AFAIK Altera completely dropped support for lwIP 2 years ago or more.

However, I provided a TSE driver and an lwIP example for the latest release of lwIP (1.3.2). See: http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23787

Note that lwIP 1.4.0-RC1 (Release Candidate 1) has recently been released.

There's nothing wrong with lwIP for NIOS II - I have 2 products completed with the Cyclone III and lwIP. I've yet to see any documentation as to why Interniche is a better option for TCP/IP under NIOS II than lwIP is.
