Hmm, good question on the speed. I think somewhere between 100-150 is what
current network cards like.
Is that a 530TX or 530TX+?
Either way, I don't think there is a utility to flash a flash chip on
board. I don't think either are really capable. You'll probably want a
normal eeprom, and a friend with an eeprom writer.
