Issue description

Many many users connect their usb-ethernet converters while visiting this section and expect something to happen.

Can you clarify the problem here: https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/en/SetupView/Firmware.html

I think you are saying that people are connecting via a wifi or telemetry radio when attempting update - ie ignoring the note "Connect directly to a powered USB port on your machine (do not connect through a USB hub)."

If so, solution would be to move that note up to the top and and make note something like:

Connect directly to a powered USB port on your machine (do not connect through a USB hub or over a wireless telemetry link).

Thoughts?
