@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.
