Folder contents:

$ ls

celo64e  eeupdate64e  install  iqvlinux.tar.gz  nvmupdate64e


Step 2. Run following command to check the NIC's available

$ sudo ./eeupdate64e

Connection to QV driver failed - please reinstall it!

Only /INVM* and /MAC commands are valid for this adapter.


     3: LAN MAC Address is 001122000000.



Step 4. Program new MAC to the NIC (e.g. NIC 3)


$ sudo ./eeupdate64e /NIC=3 /MAC=001122111111
