Hi,guys! 

I want use the TSE MAC to transceive a raw ethernet frame,which is built manually.According to the IEEE standard the frames must be separated by an interpacket gap.So, I wonder whether the MAC can complete the interpacket gap automatically or not?I'm looking forward your reply eagerly!!

I use TSE MAC (and also different MACs on other systems) in a similar way by I never worried about interpacket gap. 

I suppose the MAC itself handles it. You only need to take care that the frame is correctly built and pad it with zeros if too short: if I remember correctly it must be at least 64 bytes long.
