Hi list!

As promised, I trying to test flashrom on the M2N-MX board. Unfortunately, I am 
unable to find the referred source release 1573 on the website, neither in 
releases nor in snapshots. Google redirects me towards the trac system. However, 
access to any files fails due to right restrictions. Presumably this is the 
wrong place to search at...

Could you please assist me to find the appropriate version for the patch file?

Thanks!
Christoph
