What are you trying to do?, what you have said is not posible, first because 
TCP/IP are not physical-layer protocols, that means that speaking about 
ethernet cards, you could not ignore ethernet adress.
You have to take into account on with ISO Network layer level you are 
speaking.
By the way .. what do you want to do?
