SMBIOS 2.7 present.

I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a vista laptop, but Dell is providing the BIOS update in .exe format currently my bios version is A09 but on the driver download site the latest version of bios is A011.
I have an AMD64 motherboard with American Megatrends BIOS but I can't figure out how to get it to boot from USB.

This is sort of a hardware question, but I didn't really think of another place for it on an Ubuntu Forum.
I use a laptop, how can I flash my BIOS from within the Ubuntu 12.10 OS?

I am running Arch on my Asus Zenbook UX31A and am having issues getting acpi to report battery information. There are a few errors which seems like some sort of conflict I don't fully understand which I assume are related.
I am planning on building a tower server for myself, and I am interested to know the various physical and firmware protections that motherboard manufacturers place on bios and firmware upgrades. The last time I built a server, the motherboard had to be jumpered for the bios to be upgraded.
My inspiration for asking this is this other question on Ask Ubuntu.
One reason I am asking is that I am just curious. I would like to know more about this for whatever value it might have in the future.
But I would also like to know so that I have a procedure I can ask a user to perform when I am wondering WTF might be up with them and their system.
