Failing to find new firmware for Optiplex 745

[Jonathan Underwood]

Hi,

I have a couple of Optiplex 745 systems. Both have bios 2.4.1
installed. I followed the instructions here:

http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/firmware

for installing firmware-tools etc, but the updated firmware isn't found:

# yum -y install $(bootstrap_firmware)
Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin, fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

 * fedora: ftp.proxad.net

Nothing to do


despite the fact that there is a newer firmware version in the repo:

Is this a bug? Am i doing something dumb?
