See [this page](/wiki/CopyToDomZero) for instruction on how to transfer files to Dom0 (where there is normallyno networking).
**WARNING**: Nvidia doesn't sign their files. To make it worse, you are forced to download them over a plaintext connection. This means there are virtually dozens of possibilities for somebody to modify this file and provide you with a malicious/backdoored file.
