NIC Firmware Update

I appreciate many Access Points and modems have facilities to update
firmware but can firmware be updated on WiFi adapters?

Reason I ask is that I have a Netgem I-Player+ digital TV viewer which
allows WiFi access to my network.

I have a Linksys USB adapter but only a later version firmware of the
same model can be used.

Sure, it is possible - likely even - but whether updated firmware exists or
not is another matter. For instance, some improvements may require different
hardware.

I had a quick look on Linksys' website and firmware is available for some
versions (hardware revisions I presume) of some USB adaptors.

Thanks Alex, I'll have a look on the site, I've got an old Linksys
WUSB11 v2.6 and only v2.6b apparently works with the device I'd like
to use it with.
