So I was attempting to flash three x520 NIC cards in a system. Using EEUPDATE, I was not really paying attention and told it to update ALL nics.
In turn, it ran, did a checksum... then reported back 2 of the onboard NIC's didnt match and were not flashed. Upon rebooting the system, the NIC ports no longer had MAC addresses. Ethtools doesn't display them, lspci shows the two NIC's w/ a BUS address. I attempted to use EEUPDATE to re apply the MAC addresses to no avail. It reports the MAC has been updated and passes a check sum. Doing a mac_dump, shows the Mac Address as 000000000000000. The on board NIC(s) is an INTEL 82576 dual port. The link lights work, they show in BIOS ( i can choose to boot from them, which is the biggest issue as the image is network booted) and in lscpi.... For what ever reason, EEUPDATE dumped the MAC addresses and refuses to allow me to change it back to the correct MAC addresses. I am not sure if it wiped the FW / Flashed it or just the query alone nuked it. Not really sure where to go from this point, SUSE 11 SP1..
