Look at the chip itself. If it reads RTL8139D (or newer), then flashing will NOT be possible. If you use Linux, the "8139too" driver will tell you which chip you have. Just grep the output of "dmesg": # dmesg |grep eth [ 4.533027] eth1: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xffffc200001e2400, 00:50:fc:94:db:05, IRQ 18 [ 4.533095] eth1: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D' This chip here is "RTL8139D" which does not have flash write. Other chips w/o write may read as "RTL-8100", "RTL-8100B/8139D" or "RTL-8101". -- Jörg Fischer ps. _______________________________________________ flashrom mailing list [email protected] http://www.flashrom.org/mailman/listinfo/flashrom
