AW: [microblaze-uclinux] Ethernet MAC
Hi Yashi,
I just checked out your link to the DM9000. Why do you think the dm9000 is not the best mac/phy chip?
Regards
Jan

we know that dm9000 is not the best mac/phy chip. if you know some other 100baseT chip for isa bus, let us know!
other choice might be using pci.
pros:
- you might have more chips to choose from
cons:
- host controler takes some gates in fpga
any other thoughts are always welcome ;)

we thought about smsc. It's more expensive than dm9k for us :(
