Hi Jared!

Yes, I saw that. But it's using firmload() as well to load it.

I moved this firmware because it was the only one remaining in that
directory.

I can put it back, if people think that's preferable, or someone else
can revert, I don't mind.

Cheers,
 Thomas

P.S.: The file is 44k, so I'm not convinced by the "/ is small"
argument. ;)
