FEATURE REQUEST: Ability to DISABLE firmware auto update

[wchp]

Please add the ability to DISABLE the firmware auto update.

Add a radio button to Advanced > Administration > Firmware Update.

Default would be ON for the masses, and for those of us that are so inclined and having issues we could set it to OFF.

I am aware and also already upvoted it there. It has just been brought up a lot in this discussion. Thank you for adding the link to it though as this may guide some newer users there to upvote it as well. I should have done that in my initial post.
