Hello flashrom's developers:
I want to save my ethernet adapter.
I have an Intel 9400PT nic, the controller is 82572EI which was on your supported list, but the PCI ID is not match, mine is 8086-107D, and your list show 8086-10B9.And these two NIC is totally identical in hardware, just different eeprom contents.
My problem is I used "eeupdate" clear the PCI Vendor ID to 0000 by my mistake. Now the PCI device id is 0000-107D.
As the result BIOS & OS can't recognise it at all, even eeupdate itself ! But some software (like AIDA64 ) can recognise it as a unknown device which pci vendor id is 0000. So I google that flashrom can help me ,(I have the original eep file.) I download it and run it in DOS. I used command "flashrom -w 9400pt.eep -p -nicintel_spi", then flashrom told me: *
Calibrating delay loop... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found. Note: flashrom can never write if the flash chip isn't found automatically.
*
So I need help how to using flashrom to program the eeprom on NIC. And can flashrom use SMBUS address to flash?(I know the SMBUS address of this NIC.)
Thanks a lot. yours sincerely
