Luciano,
According to the instructions that came with the firmware updates that is what i'm supposed to do.
"2.0 Installation and setup instructions for Linux
Linux update is packaged as a binary,which allows the user to
upgrade the firmware silently
Use the command
./brcm_fw_nic_<version>_linux_32-64.bin -s"
and if you looked at the links you linked me you'll see they are also downloaded as bin files...
i'm just trying to find out how to get full root access over my ssh terminal connection so i can run the files.
thanks
EDIT:
ps. i'm not trying to install drivers.... the operating system is running fine with stock software. i'm trying to install the hardware firmware updates from the installed operating system. i cant get bootable iso updaters for everything i want to update.
