The GBE MAC address was forged to: `00:DE:AD:C0:FF:EE MAC`
## tb.bin
This blob was extracted from https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/n24th13w.exe
It is zero-padded to 1MB and should be flashed to the Thunderbolt SPI chip, which is not the same as the 16MB chip to which the heads rom is flashed. External flashing is recommended as the only way to reliably fix a bug in the original Thunderbolt software on the SPI chip. You can find a guide here: https://osresearch.net/T430-maximized-flashing/
