I have a tool to write the eepro100 EEPROM. Let me see if I can find it. It even had all the default data coded, ready to restore a NIC to default. However - back in the eepro100.c days, it was considered a warning only if the EEPROM had a bad checksum. There were two "supported" formats for the EEPROM, one of which was just the MAC address. And it worked!
