| The MAC address appears twice in there at the offset: `0x0` and `0x1000` and is set to `00:de:ad:c0:ff:ee`. | ||

@Siproqu That is confirmed to work?
I tested this on x230 which confirmed to not work

@Siproqu Can you generated a GBE blob by modifying the bincfg /gbe-82579LM set using the same MAC address you used to test this? Then use a tool like vbindiff to show the differences between the blob you just created and the original that uses the MAC 00:de:ad:c0:ff:ee. As the validation is only a checksum, it is quite possible that the MAC you used and 00:de:ad:c0:ff:ee both generate the same checksum but for most other MAC addresses this would not work.

@tlaurion It's been a while since I've done that (and since then a default coreboot is running on the board), but as far as I remember it worked.
@Thrilleratplay Will do it. And fix the guide if necessary. But Heads is a little low in the priority list at the moment. Please give me some time.

I could confirm that generating the gbe blob with bincfg works fine. I'll change the wiki entry in the next days.
Probably did something wrong when I simply changed the MAC via hexeditor. Anyways.
Will also update linuxboot/heads#1019 and linuxboot/heads#723 (if still needed?).
Sorry that everything takes so long and so many mistakes happen. Heads is currently very low on the priority unfortunately.
This are the companion guides to linuxboot/heads#1019.
It includes the build and flash guide.
