A few days ago I’d flashed BIOS on my Asus TUF Gaming Z490. Today I’ve found that the network adaptor is assigned MAC 88:88:88:88:87:88. It looks weird. Ask Ubuntu says it’s a common issue with BIOS flashing.

Use such solution:

  1. Download LAN driver package. It suites different motherboards like mine one.
  2. Unload Intel driver: sudo modprobe -r e1000e.
  3. Update MAC using a command like sudo eeupdate64e /NIC=1 /MAC=<your-address>.
  4. Load Intel driver: sudo modprobe e1000e.
