How often is firmware updated without a maching driver update? fw_update is really just to provide an automated fuction during install or upgrade, the same time when you are getting a new kernel/drier, it would be rare that a new firmware is available for an existing system, although potentially useful given how buggy some of these things are. -- There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games. - E.
