Thanks for pointing out these issues.

For what it's worth, the user must use the '-u' option to upload results. And as Arthur points out you can edit logs and such yourself to scrub any private data. The script just automates a few steps for convenience, though obviously we'd like a reasonably uniform data set to compare with. You're right that we don't need to know anyone's MAC address for coreboot development; however as others have pointed out a full kernel log is useful since firmware issues often manifest themselves there (memory map incorrect, devices not enabled, etc) so it's good to have them for comparison.

Still, a pause as Mike suggested and perhaps a scary warning or two could be useful.

Then there can be for example a simple live linux iso that people can boot
with LAN cable connected. No requirement of installation software, of
setting things up or anything like that.

There is one - See util/board_status/set_up_live_image.sh .
