Hi all, a lot of Realtek RTL8139 NICs have a DIL-32 bootrom socket, and it is possible from DOS to flash PXE bootcode directly onboard provided you use ATMEL AT29C512 or AT29C010A flashs; here's the download of the Realtek flash program (see DOS section): http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=6&a... unfortunately Realtek's flash utility only supports ATMEL flashs, and even more worse is the trap that you can only flash the chip if it is detected by the BIOS - if you just insert an empty chip then it didnt work for me; the chip needs at least the 55AA code at the beginning so that its memory is mapped into adapter space by the MB BIOS. Do you think that it is possible to add support for flashing these cards (omst likely the RTL8169 GB NICs work same) to flashrom?
