After looking at the data sheet, I realized that there is a slim chance of using Uthernet without a full IP stack and only using MAC communication to transmit data since there is an on-chip 802.3 handler and a packet buffer. Is this even remotely feasible to explore further?
Of course - IP is just software implementing an arbitrary protocol. You can replace it with anything you want.
