I think we need drivers or maybe some tool to save contents of those
little EEPROM / flash NVM configuration chips before it's too late.
First the ICH* e1000e corruption and now GbE RTL.

With the reverted patch my MAC addresses are still broken:
Try full power-off (disconnect power supply/remove battery).
