If I restore them both and use the same firmware backup file, will they end up with the same network ethernet MACs? (I supposed the wireless Macs are hardwired to the wlan adapter, no?)(2015-05-23, 20:49)memmo Wrote: Silly me..
Next oddity -- when I run the script and select 6 for coreboot/standalone -- I get a message:
"Your current firmware does not contain data for the device MAC address.
Would you like to load it from a previously backed-up stock firmware file?"
Not sure what this means?
it means exactly what it says The stock firmware has a unique MAC address embedded for each device, which the script will persist if present. Because the previous owner restored a stock firmware from the recovery image (without a unique MAC), the script is giving you the option to read in the MAC from a valid firmware backup file. In your case, just hit 'N' and carry on.
