Ethernet controller question

Hello,



I need to add ethernet connection to a board that I'm currently designing.



My knowledge is limited to the ethernet and tcp/ip protocols and I'm trying to figure out which chip fits better my needs. These are the requirements:


  1. MAC only or MAC + PHY
  2. Low power and low cost
  3. Auto MDI-X autocrossover
  4. Reliable chip

Which are the parameters I should take into considerations when comparing the various chips?



thanks in advance, Enrico
