Hi everybody,
I'm now searching for harware components to build a 10/100 ethernet networking device. I need some kind of customizable ethernet controller or solution like that, it (the IC) may contain both fix PHY&MAC, PCI core and have some space to feed additional fpga module or it provide them in separate blocks and allow developer to put additional service to manipulate, analyze data on-the-fly.
For example: If I use ethernet controller like RTL8139C(L) to build the NIC, I can't put my own desire service (encrypting, analyzing,...) on that NIC because the controller is fix package.
Any hint will be highly appreciated . Thanks !
