Either we're not talking about the same card or there is somewhere to find firmware that I don't know about.

I just checked the LSI website for 9240-4i firmware and there is a 20.12.1-0150 version (labeled "4.11") released on 23 September 2013. The previous version is the version running in this machine.

Are we talking about the same card? Is there a better place to look for firmware updates on the LSI website?

Thanks,

Jan.
