That version seems to have worked. The version that didnt work was the 
one extracted using fw_extract.pl --search. I also tried to use the fx2 
that I captured which did not work either. During the capture phase 
however, there were some odd (perhaps normal) log messages about

Maybe that is normal since the device is being put into the 'capture' 
mode. But I just thought I would mention that.
