This mail is justa noteworthy observation I've made. I've got two separate M57SLI-S4 motherboards on which I've installed Coreboot, and I've noticed an interesting thing with the onboard Ethernet chip. It seems it contains one MAC address in hardware,
It's in software - it's in the bios image.
Oh, I see. That explains a lot. I don't really know why I just assumed that it was the hardware which was weird, but I thank for correcting me. :)
[...] This should really be documented on the wiki. It applies to (almost) all our mcp55-based boards.
Wouldn't an even better idea be to emit a compiler error/warning if the MAC address hasn't been changed to some value other than the default?
