 Updating Firmware
 =================
-This driver requires released firmware for T4 card. This driver has been
-tested with t4fw-1.9.23.0 and later firmware. This firmware is available
-at service.chelsio.com inside the driver package.
+
+The OFED-3.18 driver has been tested with 1.13.32.0 and later
+firmware. Version 1.13.32.0 of the firmware will automatically installed
+when you load the cxgb4 driver.  The latest released firmware is always
+available at service.chelsio.com inside the Unified Wire package.
 
 If your distro/kernel cxgb4 driver supports firmware loading, you can
-place the chelsio firmware image in /lib/firmware/cxgb4, then rename
-it as t4fw.bin and unload and reload the cxgb4 module to get the new
-images loaded. If this does not work, then you can load the firmware
-images manually as follows:
+place the chelsio firmware image in /lib/firmware/cxgb4, then rename it
+as t4fw.bin or t5fw.bin and unload and reload the cxgb4 module to get
+the new images loaded.  If this does not work, then you can load the
+firmware manually as follows:
 
 1) Move the firmware file into /lib/firmware/cxgb4/ on your system.
 
-2) Run: ethtool -f ethX <fw-image-filename>
+2) Run: ethtool -f ethX cxgb4/<fw-image-filename>
 
 3) unload/reload cxgb4
 
 EG:

-# ethtool -f eth2 t5fw-1.11.4.0.bin
