Hi all!
I have to do flash of the Intel LAN embedded eeprom of my Lenovo X201Tablet(82577LM Gigabit Network Connection).
In this eeprom there's the MAC address that I have to change(now is corrupted: all F)
On Intel website they have "LAN Software Tool: Intel® Network Connections Tools"

Here, under Ethernet controllers:
http://edc.intel.com/Platforms/Core-QM57/#hethernet

In this Tool suite there is a very small application eeupdate.exe that allow to change and reflash the embedded eeprom.
But i can't download it, becouse it is required a "Privileged Account".
On the net there are only old versions of this application(V5 vs V15.5 minimum required)

Anybody can help me?

Thank you all!!

Here's the firmware download area on Intel's site for your family of ethernet controllers. It looks like 15.2 is the current version.

Thank you Djembe,
but these firmware utilities can't help me because they don't allow me to change MAC ADDRESS in IntelLAN eeprom.

Can't you change the address within OS (spoofing it)?

cheers ...

No because I have to restore an old MAC ADDRESS on a new machine(same model and type) and it must be right from the BIOS.
I have to do OS installation from LAN.

thank you
