  Here's some info from my experience.          The 2 links below have 
enough info to get started.

Brief as Possible.


DOS
You can flash onboard NICS with Award Bios's with the CBROM utility.
I do this with a freedos boot cd  with files on a fat partition.

You can flash intel NICS with IBAUtil available .   some e100's , with 
the e1000 being the most popular with 128k ROM.
I do this in Dos  , possible from some windows versions as well.

You can flash a variety of 3com cards with  a utility that I couldn't 
find.   Anyone care to share.
3Com was my original intent

Linux

Flashrom   I was trying this  for coreboot  , still experimenting.
