I haven't seen the message about missing NIC drivers before (that I remember) though.
Yep, I had disabled all network adapters except the ethernet. I've been bit by that before because this software does get tripped up if you don't.
I will double check firewall and antivirus before I do anything else. I don't believe they are a problem but it will be good to test this process without them.
I had not tried starting the firmware load without the radio already being powered. That will be my first attempt when I get back to it.

EDIT:
Now that I have had my second cup of coffee, I realize that our last test was made with the Radio un-powered. I still got the same error message. Thus, it re-enforces my belief that the issue lies with the configuration of my laptop.
