If i overwrite my ethernet address, is that the MAC address? How can i revert it after a bios upgrade with flashrom?
Yes. If you notice it's changed when you first boot into your new BIOS (via `ifconfig' or something else) you will probably want to flash the old BIOS. You can simply `flashrom -Vw oldbios.rom' - although please note that you may have to clear the CMOS, where the BIOS stores settings. You know you will have to do this if after downgrading, the computer fails to successfully boot. This happened to me a bit ago. Basically you turn the computer off, unplug it, find the battery on the motherboard and remove it for about a minute. Put it back in, turn it on, and then you may want to set the clock in the BIOS to the correct time, and any other settings you previously set.
What version of flashrom against is this patch generated? Is it 0.9.2?
SVN. There are instructions here: http://www.flashrom.org/Downloads
Let me know if you have any more questions.
