There are a couple ways to do this. The easiest way would be to purchase a serial to ethernet gateway device and interface the microcontroller to the gateway via thee serial port. Otherwise, you will need to create the circuitry to interface to a MAC (Media Access Controller) which will interface to a PHY (Physical Layer Controller) via the MII (Media Independent Interface). The PHY will then need to interface to a set of Ethernet Magnetics which will connect to the standard Ethernet RJ45 connector. I have implemented a system like this before and it is a lot of work. I would suggest you take a look at Lantronix (see link below) and the products that they have to offer.
