So I can't find it with google but I remember awhile back reading up on an option to flash a bios for a motherboard using the flash ram socket on a network card, anyone got that info?

Flashrom can do that. It's well documented for supported NICs and flash chips.

It can be done, but some NICs have a limit on the flashable size. Hotflashing also works but it could be riskier.
