What do you need an IP stack for when you want to process raw
ethernet frames???
My guess is that you need it because the system does other things with
the network, too.
Well, you still wouldn't need to tunnel those raw Ethernet requests
through lwIP, which is an IP stack.
On the other hand, given the lack of a standardized API to send and
receive raw Ethernet frames; and given the PF_PACKET extension other
stacks have, I can understand this question.
I have already answered though: we don't have it yet; contributions are
welcom. Sadly, no such thing seen yet.
