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