The MAC is not designed to pack your payload, so as said it expects a complete frame without CRC and paddng. But is has many other functions for you, like input destination MAC address filtering, Flow control wwith pause frames, transmit and receive FIFO', interfaces to Avalon ST and eg. RGMII PHY or TBI (inc. PCS) or SGMII (inc. PCS and PMA) ... so it helps you a lot by doing these function ...

good luck
