Hello all,
First of all, I hope I'm posting in the right section for this request.
I need to change the MAC address of some PC (because Asus provides 3 motherboards with the same MAC !). I extracted the BIOS and found the MAC inside it. I changed it but when I try to flash it back, AFUDOS tells me "ROM boot block is corrupted" and fail. Do you know how to recalculate the checksum so I can flash the modded BIOS ?
Thank you in advance.
mac addresses are usually unique and are for networking, are you sure its a mac address?
It's quite strange ASUS manufactured 3 boards with the same MAC Address and all of them end up in your hands
Are you sure???
Hello and thank you for the answer.
Yes, I'm absolutely 100% sure all the boards have the same MAC address.
(Doing some research on Google shows I'm not alone and it can happen).

why not just spoof the mac?

Because PXE and Ghostcast can't handle that
Why don't simply patch AFUDOS to avoid that error and continue flashing???

That would be a good solution
Do you know the bytes to be changed ?
I'm currently trying to trace that with TurboDebugger...
EDIT: I patched AFUDOS (Asus version as AMI version is not compatible with Asus boards) but unfortunately AFUDOS do not update networking code

There is only one byte changed between this one and Asus-provided AFUDOS. "/M" option is not available in the so-called "Engineering edition".
