Online Bios Flash

I'm looking to rebuild my system and I was curious which motherboards might offer an online flash feature.  I recall building one a while back for someone and all I had to do was plug an ethernet cable in boot to bios and select update and it went online and grabbed the proper file.  I'd like for my next motherboard to have this feature but was unsure of which product line had it.  I'll be moving to skylake.

This sounds like a terrible idea, it is much safer to just get a usb drive and flash it, if you lose internet during the process it will brick the board if it doesn't have dual bioses, and most motherboard don't need a bios update in the first place, it is risky enough as is with a usb drive.
