Comment(by wad):

 I was just programming the Boot2 firmware, not the operational firmware.
 I didn't pull the cable out until around thirty seconds after libertas-
 flash
 crapped out.

 I forgot to mention that both upgrades failed on block 362 (of 363 blocks)
 If zero based, that would be the last block.

 I'm currently STILL awaiting instructions from Cozybit (over four months
 since the initial request) for JTAG upgrading in order to unbrick these.
 I bet I can read the firmware from the device at that point...

 I have the bricked antennas in my office, if someone wants to try to read
 the Flash.
