-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Stephen,
Did you change the MAC address before flashing the new ROM image? If not, flash it again, with the correct MAC address based on these instructions: http://libreboot.org/docs/hcl/x200_remove_me.html#ich9gen On the X200, the MAC address for the built-in ethernet chipset is stored in the flash chip. The default ROM images contain a generic MAC address just so that it will work, but you should use your own (your X200 will have come with a note containing the MAC address, and the same MAC address will also be printed on a sticker on the base of the machine near the VGA port, or underneath the 2nd RAM slot).
