The patch itself looks fine, however the comment at the end probably isn't valid. Many of the drx-k devices don't have onboard flash, and even for the ones that do have flash, uploading the firmware doesn't actually rewrite the flash. It patches the in-RAM copy (or replaces the *running* image). Devin -- Devin J.
