You don't need to do this. Ethernet is already a Multiple Access protocol (CSMA/CD), meaning that whatever is on the wire is visible to all attached nodes. So whatever your host interface sends, it also receives (then, normally, discards since the packet is probably not addressed to itself).
Why don't you tell us what you are really trying to accomplish?
