The solution to this has been around on many motherboards for a long time. There are two sets of firmware, one flashable and the other read only. If your flashable firmware gets borked, you start from the read-only version and reflash.

true, but i think motherboards have a higher replacement rate then some of the stuff that will be targeted by this...

hell, thats one of the reasons why we are not seeing widespread IP6 adoption. some of the routers out there are so old that one have to yank the whole device and replace it with a more recent model to even have the option of toing IP6 in software, much less hardware...
