Flashing red means battery error.  If you don't have a developer key 
please get one.  Unlock your machine and then do what ever it takes to 
cause the red flashing.  Then  reboot the machine hit esc at the 
countdown to to get to an 'ok' prompt.  Then at ok prompt type:

ec-abnormal@ .

Note the ' .' on the end.  That prints out the value.  This should print 
  a number.  Please report back what that error code is.

The system firmware doesn't really have much to do with networking so 
I'm confused if it actually made a difference.  Was the firmware the 
only thing you changed?
