[nsp] Holy crap!

[Christopher J. Wolff]

Wow thank you for the explanation!  If I didn't step away from the
console long enough to get a drink I would still be loading IOS's!

When you upgraded the code to 12.1(19)E1 from another release, the
FlexWAN
related code which is bundled with the new IOS has to be downloaded to
the
FlexWAN.

Depending on how many flexwans you have it may take a while. This
happens only
during on the first upgrade. After the first upgrade, if you reload the
box
again, all the Flexwans should come up right way, as they have the same
code as
that of the running IOS.

Hope this clarifies.
