If your firmware is in a file - open it using NdisOpenFile, NdisMapFile etc.
If the firmware is embeded in your driver image, you don't need even this.
Then just start load... It is your device so you know how to do this.
All this should not make any proiblem, unless the new firmware causes change
of new hardware ID. If this is your case please tell so.
