You can use the netboot flash feature to program the netboot bootrom
code into a Flash EEPROM without the need of an external programmer.
The netboot flash utility currently supports the following network
cards: 3C905B, 3C905C, cards with RTL-8029 chip, cards with Intel
82595 chip, and of course FlashCard. If you like to include support
for a different network card, please let me know. For commercial PXE
bootroms and for etherboot I don't have a solution. This only works
with netboot.

gero.
