Hi guys,

I‘m currently assembling my new Home Server and the Motherboard/Intel NIC (Asus Pro B560M-CSM) has given me nothing but headache. I first encountered a NVM Checksum Error which I was able to fix. After that I flashed the newest Version of the Bios and found out that the MAC Address has been set to 88:88:88:88:87:88. After some research I found out that I can set the right MAC with eeupdate but it seems that the software I was able to retrieve isn‘t supporting the i219v.

Is there any way to get a recent version of eeupdate (efi or 64)?

Kind regards

# ipmitool lan set mac 00:de:ad:be:ef:00

for the BMC NIC.

As a workaround for the host NIC just set the MAC with ifconfig and/or in the NIC config at boot (via rc.conf, hostname.if ; or for linux whatever they use nowadays...)

Thanks for your reply. I was able to retrive the correct eeupdate file to flash the right MAC Address. Took me some time but I managed to solve the problem.
