I don't know what you mean by "reference design Ethernet Packet generator" but if you are talking about the offload example, it's aim is to handle packet generation or reception in hardware, and it's not that easy to get hold of the data.

If you use a standard TSE design example with the Nios CPU and a network stack then you can do this in software, using the standard BSD sockets API.
