Hi,
I don't know that making a loopback is a good idea. There is a fair chance you'll let
the smoke out of the interface chips. This makes them unusable. I also don't know
how you would address such a thing.
Most IP stacks can be tested by pinging yourself. There are various bits of software
around that do testing of NIC's. There are a number of packages that inject traffic
onto networks that will allow testing.
If you really want to send something up itself you could try making a cable that
connects pin 1 - 3 and pin 2 - 6. What it will do is not necessarily what you need.
But, don't let the smoke out of the interface chips.
