There can be trust issues about just what the bios does. I would feel safer having one with open code rather that I can rebuild if I want to. Eventually there will be issues with NICs not being trustworthy, but we have a few years before they are smart enough to be a threat. For myself, linuxbios compatibility will be a requirement for future motherboards that I purchase.
