Ah! There it is. The Mini-module from Avnet. Spartan-3 3S400 and Virtex-4
FX12 flavors. Go to www.em.avnet.com, Products tab, Design Resource Center
(right below the Products tab), look for Mini-module.
"Designed as a complete system on a module, the Mini packages all the
necessary functions needed for an embedded processor system, onto a tiny
footprint slightly bigger than a stick of chewing gum."

Does anybody know of a good, --small--, development board with an
ethernet port? What I'm really looking for is essentially a FPGA, on
a very small PCB, with an ethernet port and power port/headers. Some
extra pins brought out to headers would be handy, but are not
essential. While I'm dreaming, it needs to be something I could
communicate to from linux, so proprietary / windows-only ethernet
drivers won't cut it.
Xilinx is preferred, but I'm open to other platforms if a better
solution exists. Cheap is good... how cheap depends on the size of
the FPGA that I can get.
Thanks for your suggestions...
