I'm using simple windows explorer drag/drop to write the files to the embedded system.  The file transfer dialog will show some progress then lock up for a few minutes. After this it reports with "The specified network name is no longer availabe."  Then after a few seconds the file will show up on the embedded system but will be totally useless (I did a compare on it with the original).

Might be a bug on the embedded Linux. You need to look at an
ethereal trace to see why the network connection is being
dropped.
