mac address problem with nvidia MCP55V-Pro

hi … I don't suppose anyone has any experience updating or fixing MAC addresses on Nvidea nVIDIA MCP55V-Pro (Supermicro H8DMT+) ? Following an experimental reflash everything went well, except afterwards we noticed the mac address had been reset link/ether 66:77:44:22:33:12 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff -- Jon Morby FidoNet - the internet made simple! 10 - 16 Tiller Road, London, E14 8PX tel: 0845 004 3050 / fax: 0845 004 3051

did it work out for you eventually? would be nice if we could document this in the mailing list archive and our hw support page (e.g. the offsets of the mac address) ;) -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner

Hi Sadly not. We now have 2 dead boxes. I'm going to have a further play with this during the week ... I'll keep you posted :) Sent from my iPhone On 9 Dec 2012, at 23:50, Stefan Tauner <stefan.tauner@student.tuwien.ac.at> wrote:

This is a known issue on mcp55-based boards. That chipset stores the mac address in the rom image. A long time ago I wrote a script to change the mac address in a (coreboot) mcp55 rom image. I've attached it. I assume it would still do the right thing, but I have not tried it for a long time.
