Are you sure you wish to proceed? [y/n]:

IMPORTANT! Do not enter Ctrl + c in the terminal while the rmware is ashing as this can cause the
card to become inoperable.
IMPORTANT! N'entrez pas Ctrl + c dans le terminal lorsque le micrologiciel clignote, car cela pourrait
rendre la carte inulisable.
WICHTIG! Geben Sie im Terminal nicht Strg + c ein, während die Firmware blinkt, da dies dazu führen
kann, dass die Karte nicht mehr funkoniert.
