I've only evaluated the gigabit Ethernet cores on Opencores and was pretty underwhelmed by the poor documentation. I'm not sure about 10/100, sorry!
I second that sentiment. Opened opencores documentation, became underwhelmed, closed documentation.
I've published a working example design that uses the USRP2's GPL-ed gigabit MAC on a Spartan-6 (should work with any board using the Marvell 88E1111), but it would take a significant redesign to get this core working at other speeds.
Yup, EnderW4785 is probably better of using your code. I did that some time ago and got it running in no time. Slapped on fifo + did a few tweaks and it's merrily sending udp packets at about 500 Mbps max. Of course it did help that I was using the exact same atlys board. Not sure how easy it will be for a random other PHY. But hey, can't be worse than the opencores stuff.
