Well most new Asus systems I have managed to flash by hitting alt+f2 at
the bios, or picking 'start ezflash' from within the bios, and then it
would go and find a file on a floppy, cdrom, usbkey, or whatever with a
specific filename and flash itself.  Works quite well.

Flashing from within linux I have only ever heard of being done on some
specific Dell machines for which there is apparently such a driver.  One
of the only things that seems to work well on some Dell machines under
linux that I have ever heard of.
