Comment:

 OK, the unreliability of firmware update was finally traced to driving the
 boot flash for the Marvell wireless chip too fast.  Access to the boot2
 firmware allowed this to be diagnosed finally within a day.

 We can finally update the boot2 firmware reliably, by driving the flash
 chip within spec.

 Unfortunately, discovering this was too late for the BTest-2 build, so for
 suspend/resume to work with wireless and with B2 systems, we'll have to
 update the wireless firmware in the field.

 I'm marking this bug as fixed.
