Hi Harald,
Great work! I'll test it tomorrow on a v1 board.
That would be really fine, because if there are some differences we need to find a way to get the source working on both hardware revisions. We could use for that reasons a new CONFIG entry in the Config.lb, but hopefully we won't need that stuff.

If you check, you'll find your mac address to be different under coreboot. That's because for mcp55-based nics, the mac address is stored in the bios rom image.
I have a script that I use to binary patch coreboot rom images with a different mac address. It's attached.
Fine, that's nice to know, i just looked in the source and saw that the MAC- address is set in romstrap.inc under src/southbridge/nvidia/mcp55/romstrapc.inc. So one TODO is already done, the others should be also easy to clear if someone could send the output's which are necessary to verify from a v1 board. I mentioned those things in the first mail according to that patch.
Maybe it would be good to add a configuration-field in the buildrom-devel to be able to set this before building the image.
Thanks, Ward.
Kind regards, Harald
