Looking at the available versions you can see that it is possible to upload a newer one. However, you have to choose (from the OPN table) the version of the device. You may find it out again using the lspci tool and the command (type after -s the address displayed by lspci):<\/p>\n
lspci -vv -s 01:00.0<\/strong><\/span> | grep \"Part number\" -A 3<\/pre>\nThe result (shown below) indicates the version of the device you have, and it is this version that you should indicate in the OPN column of the firmware page.<\/p>\n

On the right in the \"Download\/Documentation\" column you will see a link to the appropriate archive containing the firmware for the device. Download it, unpack and program our card:<\/p>\n
