LabVIEW low level Ethernet communication, 802.3 physical layer

Question

I'm trying to use LabVIEW to establish communications with a Freescale
8270 PowerPC CPU with built-in 802.3 Ethernet. The microcode on the CPU
end supports only the 802.3 MAC/PHY layer (with CSMA/CD). We will not
be implementing a TCP or UDP stack in the CPU code. It appears that the
built-in LabVIEW functions communicates with Ethernet through the TCP
and UDP stacks only, which in turn call the windows API. LabVIEW does
not access the Ethernet 802.3 physical layer directly at all. So, there
is a gap in the communications between the two. I do not need a lot of
networking functionality, this is only for a simple continuity test
(CPU sends a test message, LabVIEW displays it). Any LabVIEW code
examples or app notes would be helpful. Thank You, Larry Junek

See this Link where it sounds like Bim has already cracked that nut.
