getting IP support in redboot for older n2100s

[Jon Dowland <jon+debian-arm@alcopop.org>]

Hello,

I flashed Debian onto my n2100 long before the official
firmware turned on the relevant bits of the redboot
configuration to support a stored IP for tftp booting.

I'm planning on doing a big upgrade to move to armel,
repartition, some hardware adjustments etc., in the near
future.  It would be nice if I could get the redboot stuff
upgraded as part of this process.

Is it as simple as just flashing the latest official
firmware using the steps at
<http://www.cyrius.com/debian/iop/n2100/deinstall.html>,
before re-installing Debian? Has anyone tried this recently?
