Let's first clear the terminology:

IP is Internet Protocol. It is the network layer protocol.

Ethernet is one of the data link layer protocols under the
network layer in the protocol stack. The IP network addresses
are translated to Ethernet MAC (Media Access Control) addresses
with the ARP protocol.

Are you creating a device driver for an Ethernet chip without
a physical layer interface? The physical layer is underneath
the data link layer in the protocol stack.

To by-pass the network stack logic, you need a raw
socket to the network interface. You have to program
the application. Also, you need superuser (root) privileges
to run a raw socket application.

Do you mean Intellectual Property (meaning a bought integrated
circuit design) with the IP abbreviation?

Please do not use the abbreviation in connection with Linux
networking: you'll confuse the other discussion participants.
