Communications are provided in the NIC for communicating data to and from a network from a computer node, along with a controller operatively coupled to the communications for controlling the communication of data. A NIC access redirection agent module is configured to accesses a NVM firmware image from the network via the communications to reprogram and/or update the NIC, wherein the accessed NVM firmware image is utilized by the computer node NIC for operation. A network node may include a firmware manager for selecting one of a plurality of NVM firmware images and provide access to the selected NVM firmware image for the computer node to update computer node firmware for the computing device over the computer network."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Technologies for reprogramming network interface cards over a network","description":"Technologies for reprogramming/updating non-volatile memory (NVM) for a peripheral, such as a network interface controller (NIC).
