Raw (More or Less) Ethernet Access in A/UX?

We have a peculiar Ethernet protocol that I am considering porting to A/UX.
Question:  does there exist a capability to speak to the Ethernet driver on
A/UX 2.0 at a level more primitive than a raw IP socket?  Something along the
lines of Sun's NIT or the Berkeley enetfilter (aka Ultrix 4.0 packetfilter)?
Or has Apple carefully hidden the Ethernet interface behind TCP/IP in order to
idiot-proof it (and, in the process, rendering it less useful for us weirdos)?
