is the FPGA end.
There is a published Ethernet MAC for Wishbone at Opencores, that makes
good study material, even if you don't want to target an FPGA with it.
I have a pretty good start on an Ethernet/IP/ARP/UDP processor in
Verilog suitable for FPGA use. It can (in theory) transmit and receive
full-speed GigE (125 MHz clock 8-bit data path). I don't yet
understand the hookup to the PHY; I hope eventually to do so,
in part by stealing chunks from the aforementioned Opencores project.
