No, 5i25 is different from other Mesa pci cards, the firmware is
loaded and stored right in the card. When I purchased my 5i25, I had
to provide information, what functions will be needed and they
prepared the firmware and loaded it in the card.  I do not know, how
to proceed, if something changes in machine or whatever and I suddenly
want to use different firmware. With other Mesa cards it is easy -
simply change a line and specify other firmware file (process of
creating custom firmwares is a separate story, where I have no
experience at all). Peter probably could explain in more detail, but I
do not think that it matters now.
