If that can help you, I may try to capture the usb activities while doing the next firmware upgrade. Unfortunately, it'll be under Windows so I don't know what tool I could use for that. If I can confirm that the upgrade works with Oracle Virtualbox, I could also try that, and capture it at guest /and/ host level. I heard that next update should happen within a few week, so I'll keep you in touch about it. Frederic.
