Same old thing as far as I can see. Looked under the hood a bit and as far
as I can tell the changelog is spot-on, the only changes are in the
microcode package and the behaviour of the MAC address when the NIC is
disabled.

wish they would fix the issue where you completely loose a device that has
been set disabled prior to the flash. we have seen both the onboard gigabit
LAN and firewire go away after a flash, if the device was in the disabled
state prior to the flash.

this is the first board I ever had that had this behavior... it is certainly
recoverable by clearing the CMOS, which should be undertaken anyway, but
none the less, it is odd behavior.
