We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ethernet PHY", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Transceiver brings synchronicity to Ethernet from Vitesse Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "First multiport Gigabit Ethernet copper/fibre PHY to include two recovered clock outputs, providing both primary and secondary clock references for a synchronous timing system". A few weeks before, we featured the news release USB-to-LAN ICs are easy route to embedded Ethernet from Asix Electronics Corporation: "The AX88x72 series USB-to-LAN chips satisfy the increasing market demands for adding networking capability for latest multimedia SoCs".
 
In June 2007, we covered the news from Marvell concerning its 88E1240 - take a look at Quad PHY is cooler choice for switching which says: "Quad gigabit Ethernet PHY chip cuts costs and power consumption in high-density switching applications".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Atheros Communications, Six-port switch provides wired link, as well as PLL helps real-time services over packet networks from Zarlink Semiconductor, and Structured ASICs gain gigabit Ethernet option from eASIC Corp.
