hello, I am looking to create a mac controller which includes tcp/ip/dhcp. Where can I get information on how to do this? Within the mac controller I have started created a tx engine, rx engine, and flow controller. My mac controller will connect to an onboard phy chip, but I am unsure how to program the mac to interface with the phy for IEEE 802.11 standards. Such as, when a signal is received from phy what sequence should be executed in order to pass that data to buffers to memory? And do tx and rx engines alternate? After this I would like to implement dhcp/tcp. thank you sb

I wasn't able to find information on how to simulate a mac controller. Where can I find flow charts/block diagrams for this?

I have a spartan3e and ths core uses only 8 % of resources...but with some tuning it can be lower. The main problem (now) is ARP management. if you are interested contact me at alexgiul@hotmail.com.
