small tools: rtl8168-eeprom

Some time ago I wrote a small Linux command line utility that can be used to (re)program the Ethernet (MAC) address stored in the EEPROM attached to an RTL8168 Ethernet chip.

This is for example useful if you are a system integrator that has its own IEEE OUI range and you would like to put your own MAC address in devices that contain the said Realtek etherent chips (already pre-programmed with some other MAC address).

The source code can be obtaned from: http://git.sysmocom.de/rtl8168-eeprom/
