Did you get it figured out yet, Barry?

I don't know exactly what FlashROM module you've got in your hands
there, but most of the ones I've dealt with have a 40-pin header up near
the LEDs.  Two of these "jumper positions" (seems to me they were J5 and
J6 but I could be miles off) were for a pair of Reset Switches that
control the unit allowing you to either Reset To Factory Default (R1) or
Load Firmware Through Ethernet Port (R2).

In the bridges we made, these were momentary (normally open) pushbutton
switches connected to the jumpers that worked as follows:

Turn the unit off

To reset to factory IP and SNMP password default with no other changes
to the firmware, press and hold the R1 switch in, power up the unit, and
waituntil the unit has completed it's BIT (Built-In-Test) diagnostics
and normal power up sequence.

To force a firmware upload through the Ethernet port, push and hold the
R2 switch in, power up the unit, and wait until the uppermost green LEDs
on the Forwarding Rate bar graph are lit.  (40, 60, 80, 100?).  At this
point, you release the R2 switch.  Then, you do an Open Config File on
the bin file you want to load the unit with, give it the key that you
have for the ethernet MAC address (not the wireless MAC), then do a
File|Upload Firmware to the default IP address of the unit.

Simple, no?
