[LARTC] point-to-point ethernet link

I have an embedded linux board (main board), which has multiple Ethernet interfaces, and
a daughter card, which has one Ethernet interface. The diagram is shown as following.

    +---------+                             +----------------------------+
     | daughter |--------------------| ptp                                      |----------------
     |   card    |        Ethernet           |         Main board                 |---------------- Ethernet links with IP
    +---------+                              |                                            |----------------          addresses
                                                   +----------------------------+

I am looking for a method to manage the daughter card with single IP address. I tried to build
a point-to-point Ethernet link on main board. However, it does not work.
Is there any solution to route packets to ptp port while the ptp port does not have an IP address?

I have a similar problem, you can read what was posted in 
netfilter-request@lists.netfilter.org or send there your question.

Bye,
Antonio.
