Question about firmware

I have a slight problem, managed to create standalone Openelec on my HP chromebox, boots no problem but I don't have a MAC address, so no wifi. Somehow my firmware backup was corrupted when I originally went through the operation which failed, I in the meantime tried the dual boot option which went well until final boot into Openelec, kept getting the message about only having 639k ram and requiring 9k.

Result is, I started over again with standalone Openelec install but when it came to coreboot install, it stated there was no MAC address in loaded firmware and to load from backup, this is when I discovered my backup was corrupt. Is there any way to recover from this, whether with a method of inputting the MAC address into firmware or with a coreboot file with a MAC address included.

Thanks for reading
