Yes, it's referenced in a howto but it's not actually on their website. 
I've written them asking for help.  My unit has another problem as well
with the NIC (it's dropping a lot of packets), which I'm hoping an
updated BIOS might address, otherwise it looks like I'll have to give up
on the Allwell.

Even so, I got a lot of satisfaction from learning how to boot with
PXELINUX.  I'm not sure why. :-)

Intel's website says for integrated NICs to flash the motherboard BIOS,
not the NIC ROM.

Thanks Josef,
