Description Dan Callaghan 2017-11-06 05:12:37 UTC 
It would be useful if Beaker could find and record the firmware version string for both the system firmware itself (the BIOS implementation, etc) and for any other devices in the system which have versioned firmware, for example network cards.

This makes it easier for admins to find systems which may need firmware updates applied.

Originally proposed by Don Zickus and Shawn Doherty and Jonathan Toppins:

Ahh I knew we already had this filed somewhere: bug 1162317. I'm going to dupe this one onto that.
