man dmidecode

    bios_vendor=`dmidecode -s bios-vendor`
    bios_version=`dmidecode -s bios-version`
    bios_release_date=`dmidecode -s bios-release-date`

I already use that in the sony-VGN-Zseries-janitor script to check what
BIOS is running. In future, as soon as I know what BIOS-/Modell
combinations need what configuration, I want to automate that
