P - I have read your thread on ETH in its entirety a few days ago. You are doing truly amazing work for the community (ETH, CAN, etc...).Sadly I can't figure out sourcing for DM9161 chip...
Val- In case that you decide to add the EMAC peripheral to one of your boards, I'd rather recommend to use one Micrel PHY like KSZ8051MNL given Micrel's better hardware integration and available documentation.
