hi
we had a report on IRC today regarding the asus M5A78L-M LX.
writing works, but the mac address is lost and the LOM defunct.
flashrom -V http://paste.flashrom.org/view.php?id=1184
binary as read by flashrom: http://paste.flashrom.org/uploads/1188.bin
the mac address in that image is C8:60:00:57:42:FF and is replaced with
ed:0b:00:00:e0:00 on writing the vendor image.
the mac address can be found at multiple offsets and formats in the
backup image:
binary: 0x13bd6a
ascii: 0x13bd80
binary: 0x1dc07a
ascii: 0x1dc015
user did just restore the backup image, so we have no idea if leaving
those offsets alone would be successful.
i have added the board to our list.

Hello,
First of all, I want to note that the properly name of the native
Ponyprog2000 hardware programmer is "SI-Prog" and not "SI_Prog".
Also, talking about:
"Please note that while USB-to-serial adapters work under certain
circumstances, this slows down operation considerably."
Well, I for one, I understand by "considerably" that the operation will do
hours, instead of minutes. The sadly truth is that operation will be epic
slow. If I remember right,
that EEEPC's W25X40, which I flashed, is not a huge flash, just 4M. Still,
it was flashed in cca 27 hours.
Then, yes, PONY_SPI works fine over an PL2303 USB/serial adapter, under
Linux, but its job is epically slow...
So, I believe that is right to warn the user that he have to wait a very
very long time.
All the best,
Virgil.
