[lwip-users] Re: [lwip] Recommend 100base-TX MAC/PHY

[Joel Baumert]

SMSC LAN91C113 and the ASIX Ax88796 both are 10/100 interfaces 3V with 
integrated 10/100 MAC/PHY.  They both have a CPU interface that can go down 
to 8-bits.  The ASIX is NE2000ish, but there are some oddities in how it 
manages the memory on the read side that don't really match other NE2000 
devices.  The SMSC interface is pretty straightforward to program and has 
reasonable documentation after you find all the right Application Notes and 
Data Sheets.
