Comment (by hailfinger):
We have two related issues here: - Not preserving the current MAC address on BIOS/coreboot updates. Can be fixed with a tool which generates a layout file for flashrom which excludes the region where the MAC address is stored. Such a utility may cause other problems (e.g. incorrect checksum), though. - Setting a MAC address in a coreboot image. This is what Ward's change- mcp55-mac.pl does, and as such I believe it definitely belongs in the coreboot tree.
