Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1022465] Re: rt73usb driver still buggy
I am very sorry, I updated maybe a hundred BIOS before, always without any problem (meaning, I know how to!). But when I had to update the BIOS of this mainboard last time, I ended up with a brick. And then it was a costly € 30 expenditure to return to factory, and some 10 days without. I reckon it was an MSI problem (since I joined the ranks of many more people bitten likewise); and promised to myself never to try upgrading *this* mainboard again. So sorry, Uwe On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 3:17 AM, Christopher M.

udippel, as per http://us.msi.com/product/mb/A75MA-G55.html#/?div=BIOS an update is available for your BIOS (2.0). If you update to this, does it change anything? If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.
