Hello Alex, > Edson, I think I mentioned earlier on this list that I've used a > KS8995. I'm curious why you would choose a part (KSZ8842-16MQL) with > an 8/16bit bus i/f rather than one with SPI/I2C? the main reason is the integrated switch. This makes it easy to = daisy chain many devices on an instalation (manufacturing floor = automation, sensors network etc). They also have some other neat features. They're both 10/100mbps = (wich would be usefull in our application) and the KSZ8842 even does = cable diagnostics.
