- Updating NVM images (firmware for PXE, iSCSI, FCoE, VLAN filtering).
- Dumping the current NVM contents to a binary file for backup or inspection.
- Modifying specific MAC addresses (on certain adapters, with caution).
- Switching between firmware personalities (e.g., changing a server adapter to a desktop mode).
