Sure thing. http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/28059.html ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softlib2/software1/cd/p308282826/v43092/firmware-7.91-0.zip Good luck downloading it !! It's soo slow and crashes. If you succeed, please share it elsewhere so I can get it. I'll do the same. ______________________________________________________ Luc Boudreau Registrariat, Università de MontrÃal -----Message d'origine----- DeÂ: mario.beccia@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mario.beccia@xxxxxxxxxx] EnvoyÃÂ: 14 novembre 2007 11:30 ÃÂ: Boudreau Luc ObjetÂ: RE: XEN - Broadcom issue: survey Luc, could you please send me the URL from where you're getting the CD?
