After the upgrade the LAN stopped working.

Hi Amr,

you've posted a read log in both normal and verbose modes. Unfortunately not the write log, but all bits help. Did you write a different BIOS to EEPROM? Or simply wrote "bios.old" to EEPROM? Did your network card/chip stop working directly (in Linux?) after writing this BIOS? Or after reboot?

I guess the network chip's hardware address (MAC-address) changed or was erased due to the firmware flashing, instead of being kept intact? I don't know if Flashrom can recognise and/or handle MAC-addresses in a safe way.


    ./flashrom -r bios.old
    flashrom v0.9.4-r1397 on Linux 2.6.39-3.dmz.2-liquorix-amd64

    root@station3:~/flashrom# ./flashrom -V -r bios.old
    flashrom v0.9.4-r1397 on Linux 2.6.39-3.dmz.2-liquorix-amd64
    Reading flash... done.
