Looking for 5307 10/100 Network chip suggestions

[Ian Caddy]

Hi Bill,

We have working the SMC91C111 100MBit Ethernet chip in our 5307 design.

It still needs some work to enhance performance, but it works fine at 
the moment. Currently it is in with the 4.5.0 release.

I am still trying to get some time to make it a generic libarary 
component, but it is not there at the moment.

I am not sure of pricing of the part in the US, but in Australia, I 
checked about 6 months ago and for 100off it was about $45AUD which is 
about $24US. Hopefully it is cheaper now that we about to use them.

Talk to you soon,

Ian Caddy
