Hello Douglas,

The only suggestion I might make is that perhaps you should check the
dmesg and expicitly bail out if the device is detected as an
em2874/em2884, since in that case this script *definitely* will not
work and, since microcode is stored on the chip, corruption of the
eeprom (such as attempting to load an em2882 eeprom content onto an
em2884) will brick the board with no path for software-based recovery
(you will not be able to run the tool again).

Regards,

Devin
