Ali your going to have to do some of your own research. This is what 
Engineering is after all. But for one last post.
I admit the '533 does not lend itself to well to 10/100 but it can be 
done. There is a fairly popular '533 Linux board with it. It think it is 
sold at blackfin.org or some such.

As to the '533 kit.
The EZ-Lan extender has the 10/100

The AV Extender has ports for Micron and other CMOS imagers

The EZ Extender has ports for Omnivision.

The board is as you pointed out.
I seem to remember there was anouther adapter board for the Micron 
stuff, but I don't have time to look.

As for the NDA. ADI is good, no NDA required. It is Micron that requires 
a NDA for full data sheets for there CMOS imagers. If you pick an older 
one you can sometimes get data sheets without NDA, but not app notes or 
Erratas, or support for that matter. Most of the better parts require 
NDAs to get data sheets. They post some basic data sheets without NDAs 
but they are missing most of the important pages.
