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.
