Description
here's a question: do we really need networking right now? My impression is that we don't deal with booting over a network at all. "x230-flash.init" loads the ethernet module but 1. the "x230-flash" "board" is questionable at best anyways (and largely unused). and 2. it's not documented, not tested and probably not used by anybody. "x230" doesn't do networking at all right?
also: what is the seemingly unused "keylime" thing?
my suggestion would be to remove all networking "usage" in x230 (and x230-flash in case that still sticks around) and remove networking from our linux config.
any objecitons? thanks.

Research direction
Start with x230-flash.init, the x230 and x230-flash board definitions, and the Linux configuration referenced in the issue. Trace networking and the seemingly unused keylime component to determine their actual uses and whether any tests or documentation depend on them. Done means the agreed networking usage is removed without breaking the affected boards, with the keylime question resolved.
