Hello,
I have got a computer with RTL8019AS NIC. I need to permanently change MAC address reprogramming it in EEPROM. I have got Donald Becker`s ne2k-diag, but it doesn`t have option which would make me able to change MAC address. How to aim my purpose? Thanks in advance, Trix. |

And I have successfully changed its MAC. If you want to experiment I'll send it to you. But have the following in mind: - it runs under Windows - you have to enter manually the I/O port of the card (looking it from the device manager) because I do not know how to detect it myself. - it's actually EEPROM reader/writer so I recommend you to change only the six bytes that represent your MAC, otherwise your card may stop working. - there's a checksum in the EEPROM that I do not update but that does not stop the card from working (at least my card). - not guaranteed to work at all; but you can try only reading before you dare writing the new MAC. - Svilen |
