ASIXFlash

AX88179 Flash Utility for changing the onboard EEPROM's MAC address. The changes are persistent, even when plugged into a different device

Requires Python 3.6+, pyusb package, and any of these: libusb 0.1 / libusb 1.0 / OpenUSB

How?

Download and unarchive the repository into a folder
Open flash.py, change the value in NEW_MAC_ADDRESS = "1BADCAFEBABE" to a MAC address of your choice.
Run pip install pyusb
Run python flash.py. This will flash your device with the new MAC address.
At this point, your device should have been flashed successfully. The original EEPROM will be saved as ax88179.bin

Install LibUSB.
- On Windows, there isn't a clear installation process, though this installer for libusb-0.1 should work
- MacOS: via MacPorts, sudo port install libusb
- Linux: sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
Python 3.6+, with pyusb
(Windows only) Change the loaded AX88179 driver to libusb
- Run Zadig zadig-2.4.exe
- Select Options -> List all devices (✓)
- In the dropdown list, select your AX88179 device
- Press the little arrow on the up-down control until you get an option with libusb-win32
- Click the big button, usually Replace Driver
