#295: No Wireless Firmware Update Tool
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  mfoster   |       Owner:  mbletsas
     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  blocker   |   Milestone:  BTest-1 
Component:  wireless  |    Keywords:          
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 As documented in other bugs, including #285, we currently have no tool
 which allows us to upgrade the firmware from Rev 31.02 to newer code, yet
 we've passed the deadline where it is possible to change the preprogrammed
 wireless Boot2 code to be other than Rev 31.02.  While attempts to program
 this code with the wireless driver continue, the vast majority of the
 time, the attempt fails.

 We need a new tool which will reprogram the wireless modules' firmware
 without invoking the full device driver.
