[flashrom] NEED help for programing the EEPROM on intel NIC 9400PT

[zz z]

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
