Since Raptor has the ability to allocate official MACs (non-local), which can be useful at the enterprise level via DHCP pinning, I might see if we can reactivate our existing BMC flash offering, but based on your hardware if that's OK with you. Those are preflashed modules for plug+play use; we only stopped offering them because of the prior scarcity of the ASMB4 modules and lack of a replacement. - -- Timothy Pearson Raptor Engineering +1 (415) 727-8645 (direct line) +1 (512) 690-0200 (switchboard) https://www.raptorengineering.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJb31SyAAoJEK+E3vEXDOFbTfgH/jOhaD/gmT87NlrDMA8nfsEr 0HubVrG9h1wPr6eZvjHOCokfdpR3KJ86oaTr2VKkvNeOa3ouMe/H16pTXIICSVmU I7FQlnrMc9ifIOiH/f28Xx4+OEEo0OYi7ZaZhNkMm8IFcgcYrMeTylfGYmpEiSix SBdmTeT9SQwmVWcv1hneIvYBscdZrU9l7qorDEpJwvqZcS89iuEdfj7pFblsLQyw sekAOh29c+pWu5vObKI9r50W0DBvpE4mWC3QHzcQQjNOcLYY8QXfDPzF2sZRndpC uKNJ59G+qepj5K80nGZL4RsQZTJ1OTWLYrmNpGZ/4dWvMqFq2NwhK8Sp3+yXFgk= =6KdK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
