The Cyclone III Development kit is overkill if you just want to work with Ethernet. I might suggest the Nios II Embedded Evaluation Kit from Terasic. I am sure there are cheaper systems out there, but this is the cheapest one I know of with built-in ethernet. ($445 USD)
If this is an "Academic" purchase, the DE2 (from Terasic) will be cheaper at $269 USD. I would suggest searching for a little while to try and find something cheaper. Where I work, we have used a custom board with a Cyclone II (EP2C35) with no trouble at all working with layer 2. Hope this helps.- Mark as New
