Could save a lot of dev effort and choose any one of the following
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=arduino+ethernet&_sop=2
Then your contribution is the base board to interface the Ethernet board
to the QL. Idea been start from a cheap known good solution testable on
another platform
then work back to the QL with minimum outlay in dev gear

Please add the CP2200 to the list of devices under consideration.
I did just look it up and it is comparable in features to the CS8900A. With
a brief search, I might be able to buy CS2200-based ethernet cards and
harvest all the components needed off them quite economically, for example.
I am a little disheartened that ethernet on the Qx0 is not used by any
QDOSMSQ* versions.

- Only 4 parallel connections. That's 4 more than QLs usually have,
but still not exactly many.
- IPv4 only with no way to upgrade if it is ever deemed necessary.
All in all I'd say a real Ethernet chip would be much more
future-proof... if you can get the software for it working.
Of course the W5300 is also a proper ethernet chip as well, linux has
a driver for it not using the internal stack!
