The tulip-diag program will selectively rewrite the EEPROM.

It looks in the CIS for a type 0x22 tuple that contains a six byte value
used to carry the station address.  If the tulip-diag program finds this
value, it moves it over to the regular EEPROM table and adds a working media
selection table.

Try it on a second card, without actually committing the write, and verify
that you get a different station address.  You should...
Be certain to record the original station address, just in case there is a
problem.
