Comment 4 for bug 1028137

Hi again penalvch,

I finally figure out how to update the BIOS from a USB stick without using Windows. With v1.15 version still shows the same errors like "hid-generic 0003:046D:C315.0003: can't reset device, 0000:00:1d.0-1.2.4/input0, status -71":

# sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
V1.15
10/21/2010

$ dmesg | tail -n 100
