some things i am confused, do this altera ethernet IP generate ethernet frame itself so that i do not need to build ethernet frame and pass this frame to tx data?

if not, why it need mac address? i think it only need to send ethernet frame out once enable in every clock cycles, there is no need to care the mac address i send as i can build ethernet frame
