Since no-one seems to have solid information as to the origins of the supposedly known brokenness of flashrom on the Asus A7N8X-E, i attach here a patch to add nforce2 support, which will hopefully fix this board.
Attached as well is some lspci info i managed to pluck off the interweb. No subsystem ids though, but a board specific enable does not seem necessary for this board.
