Dear all,

is there any way i could change the mac adress of my ethernet card?

I have I226-v tried with eeupdate but it did not work.
Is there a new version of eeupdate? Or what can i do?

Hello @FHardy,

Thank you for contacting Intel Embedded Community.

Once the MAC address in any Intel® Ethernet Controller I226 (LM/ V/ IT) has been changed to an address with a unique value, can't be changed again even with EEupdate, due that the NVM gets protected for security reasons.

Best regards,

Hi there,

I have the same problem, my mac address is set to 88-88-88-88-88-88 and I can't play video games due to the AntiCheat blocking me, can you help me? I've spoken to the developers of the games and it's the same answer for all of them, it's because my mac address is "invalid" for them.

Cordially.
