do all the correct steps but I get a 134 byte .bin with the following:

The command prompt shows that the chip is detected correctly, but it writes the same MAC address (or doesn't write it at all).

The device is a TP-Link UE306 with the ASIX 88179 chip, but when installing the libusb win32 drivers, the Zadig shows it as an ASIX 88179B chip.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or can my EEPROM simply not be modified?

python 3.6

pyusb 1.2.1

The device has the eeprom option:

This tool was made when the "B" variant did not exist yet, so it is likely that the new IC does not respond correctly to the existing commands.

I could not find a datasheet for the "B" IC, though I found this newer project that could help: https://github.com/enlyze/ax-usb-nic/tree/main
