Know Flashrom?

Hi,
Flashrom is a utility with which you can update your motherboard bios from the convenience of your desktop environment. Yesterday, I gave it a try but it didn't detect my motherboard nor my flashchip, that was no surprise as it wasn't in their list of supported motherboards. I went to their IRC channel and within 24 hours they developed a patch which I tried today and it worked right away. I updated my bios and I'm now spreading the word, Flashrom rules!

There's also an AUR package. Note, I'm not responsible if you kill your bios
