 If the files differ or the chip content does not match the dump, try reconnecting your programmer to the SPI flash chip and make sure your flashrom/flashprog software is up-to-date.

-If you want to perserve the orignal ethernet mac adress you would need to extract GbE from the original firmware and insert that into the heads firmware. Otherwise the ethernet will have the general mac: 00:DE:AD:C0:FF:EE. The orignal mac adress is a identifier of you laptop which can be used to track you in local network, otherwise in networks with other heads devices with the same mac you will have connectivty problems. You need the [ifdtool](https://doc.coreboot.org/util/ifdtool/binary_extraction.html) from coreboot for that.
-To extract and insert the GbE into heads run: 
+On boards with Intel-based Ethernet, such as the T480, this will also overwrite the GbE region in the BIOS, which stores the MAC address of the chip, with a forged one (MAC: 00:DE:AD:C0:FF:EE). This has the privacy benefit that the chip uses this shared MAC so it can't be used as a personal identifier for this exact board. The downside is that this can create connectivity problems on local networks if other heads boards with the same MAC address are present. To preserve the original MAC address of the board, use:
 
 ```shell
-ifdtool -x t480_original_bios.bin
-ifdtool -i GbE:flashregion_3_gbe.bin ~/heads/build/x86/T480-hotp-maximized/T480-hotp-maximized.rom
+sudo flashrom -p ch341a_spi -c YYY --ifd -i bios -i me -i fd -w ~/heads/build/x86/T480-hotp-maximized/T480-hotp-maximized.rom
 ```
 
-this will create `T480-hotp-maximized.rom.new` which you then can write directly to the SPI flash chip (see above).
 
 Here is a successful attempt. Be patient, it may take a while.
