Just one note; it's not BIOS firmware that needs upgrade, but a RAID controller's.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, Dell's floppy tool works with wine. I just didn't have floppy drive on my laptop to test it or create floppies.<BR/><BR/>Also, there are some Dell's tools for firmware upgrade that work on Linux. So, things aren't that negative as one can think.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, point of this post wasn't

Here is how to update your BIOS without using Windows, but only Open Source Software (FreeDos in this case):<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://vale.homelinux.net/wordpress/2008/03/18/how-to-update-your-bios-on-linux/

Mmhh... the link for BIOS updates I just gave seems to be for Feisty, Gutsy or Hardy (not Dapper), so the original post may be right that Windows is required to do the intitial firmware update when running Ubuntu 6.06.x.

"Please make sure you have the latest Firmware in your Adapter. I'd hate to make<BR/>any changes just because you are using obsolete Firmware."<BR/><BR/>This is godawful. They ask you to have access to a windows machine so you can use your linux. WTF. Might as well upgrade to Windows and skip linux to begin with. If the machine worked before with Linux and it doesn't after a kernel update they
