Ok, can you connect this interface directly to a box under your control
and use this box to ping the ag71xx interface using an invalid
destination MAC address?

Assuming your other box runs Linux and the IP address assigned to the
ag71xx NIC is 192.0.2.1, the test would look like this:

$ ping 192.0.2.1    # Basic test. Also makes Linux get the peer dst MAC

$ ip neighbour list # Show the peer dst MAC
192.0.2.1 dev ethX lladdr aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff REACHABLE

$ ip neighbour replace 192.0.2.1 dev ethX lladdr aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:f0

$ ping 192.0.2.1   # Try to ping again, this time using a wrong dst MAC
