Is there any way to directly ship a packet to an ethernet card?

What I want is the ablity to to send a raw packet out on the network.
Basically, a berkley packet filter, but rather than getting any packet,
sending packets.

Is there any way to do this?  Well, I guess there must be, so, is there a
simple way to do it?  Is there a berkley socket type that will allow me to
do a send data this way?

Thanks.
