Thanks, found it!

Seems strange that the BIOS would be an OS dependent download, though.
But it is listed along all of the other softpacks for the 8440w, so I
guess it makes some sense.
If I select Win7-32 rather than Win7-64 I get exactly the same file so
the BIOS softpack is not different anyway.

Now I just have to figure out how to use this file for bios upgrade
when the laptop runs Ubuntu...
