Upgrading to a New Firmware Version
Caution
To minimize the risk of a power failure during the firmware flashing process, which could render your 
client adapter inoperable, Cisco recommends that your computer be plugged into AC power or have a 
fully charged battery at the start of flashing. If a power failure does occur, follow the instructions in the 
 section to contact TAC for assistance.
This section describes how to upgrade to client adapter firmware 5.41.00 on a computer running the 
Windows 2000 or XP operating system.
Finding the Firmware Version
To find the firmware version that your client adapter is currently using, open ACU and click the Status 
icon. The Firmware Version field on the Status screen shows the firmware version.
Upgrading the Firmware
Follow these steps to upgrade your client adapter’s firmware to version 5.41.00.
Note
When you upgrade your client adapter’s firmware using ACU, the Automatically Load New Firmware 
When NDIS Driver Is Updated parameter on the Aironet Client Utility Preferences screen becomes 
disabled (or unchecked) automatically to prevent the newly loaded firmware from being overwritten by 
the driver. If you ever want to enable this parameter, you must recheck the check box.
