Why not?

RTnet does not imply that you have to use the RTnet protocol, it's
perfectly fine to use just the Ethernet drivers as you see fit
(that's what I do all the time).

By going your own way, realtime ethernet for Xenomai will be fragmented,
which will benefit nobody (except possibly WindRiver/Microsoft/...)
