If it's relatively recent Asus board, you can use USB stick (formatted DOS, of course).

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?
