LOL, most of the WAP makers talk with emphasis on not
doing firmware
updates wirelessly. Does that same wireless only
software also do the
firmware upgrades? ;-)
Recently a customer who furnished all components except the case (she
furnished the 750 watt modular power supply) and 2 hard drives, personally
did a firmware update on one of her optical devices. She was doing this to
comply with Windows Vista. She knew I had her new computer plugged into a
UPS. She furnished the firmware on a CD she had copied it to. Why would
anyone try to do a live update of firmware or a BIOS flash? Copying from a
file with the computer hooked to a UPS greatly reduces the chances of an
interruption.
