Could try "flashrom" if you can actually get the actual binary files you need to update. <div><br></div><div>A lot of mobo makers (like my Gigabyte) package their BIOS files in self-extracting exes. Some of these happen to just be zipped/7zipped and can be extracted with those tool despite what the file extension would have you believe. Alternatively, you could try the windows tools in wine.</div>

On the Asus site, they did have Linux listed in the menu for update files, but when I download the BIOS update from their link, it is an MS executable file. None of my machines have a floppy drive, so I can't boot from an MSDOS disk, even if I had one. How do people normally handle this?<br clear="all">
