Definitely exhaust all the other options before flashing the BIOS. It
doesn't happen often but if something goes wrong the motherboard will be
useless until you get a new BIOS chip. I have only had this happen once to
me out of hundreds of re-flashes to various brands of motherboard so it is a
fairly safe procedure.. The good news is you have an ASUS board and they
offer replacement chips through authorised dealers if needed..

I think the problem is with your network drivers or the modem itself. I am
not familiar with that modem but if the ethernet connection quit working and
everything is set up right on your computer I would suspect the modem.

Good luck.
