Updating firmware on an AirLink (Sierra Wireless) Raven X Cellular Modem

Okay, this probably doesn’t apply to many people because I doubt the user base for these units is very big, but I ran into this issue today. 

Problem
Wanted to upgrade the firmware on an AirLink Raven X Cellular Modem (V4221-S) to the latest since what it had on it was from February 2007.  Appearantly AirLink is now Sierra Wireless (or they bought them… I don’t really care…).  Downloaded release RavenX_EVDOA_4.0.7.001.exe  and ran it from a  laptop connected to the modem via ethernet.  Before reaching the 50% mark it told me “Unable to write the firmware to the modem flash”… how rude!
