[f-nsp] FESX -PREM firmware upgrade issue.

["Rolf Hanßen"]

Hello Todd,

just open both and look for the difference. ;)
There is some (plugable) tiny additional chip on those with Layer3 Support.
No idea if you can buy them seperately, but we got one from our dealer
several years ago for testing the Layer3 features.

kind regards
Rolf
