Manuel,

I gave it try, and the embedded image seems to support the net5501,  
the Platform: information under Status is correct.

But dummy me, I have an Intel PRO 1000 GT installed in the net5501,  
and the embedded image does not appear to include the em drivers.

No problem I thought, I did the reverse trick, downloaded the generic- 
pc image, renamed it embedded-1.3b14.img, but now the new embedded  
firmware does not accept the disguised firmware, saying the firmware  
is not for the embedded platform.

Do I have any other option than re-flashing the CF with the generic-pc  
version?
