That is a problem, try using wget from some shell on another box?
All of my boxes have their DNS connections through Comcast. I don't
have access to any other DNS servers. Well I could easily if I knew of
one that resolved this fqdn. If someone just gives me the IPv4 addr for
it, I can go direct that way. :(

There is nothing to tell, download the file and save it as
/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43362-sdio.txt on the root
partition of your cubietruck.
Oh. I thought when you said nvram I had to permanently some file to my
board. This I believe I can handle. Once I get the file.
thanks
