Software flashing instructions: the guide from <a href="#flashrom">#flashrom</a> ought to work.

+ On the X200, the Gbe region in the flash chip contains your MAC address.
+ Libreboot ROM images already contain a descriptor and gbe in them, but
+ with the same MAC address, which probably isn't the one you want. You can change it.
+ Read the notes about <a href="../hcl/x200_remove_me.html#ich9gen">ich9gen</a> to
+ know how to change the MAC address inside your ROM image before flashing it to your
+ machine.
