I'm surprised that you saw that with a newly-purchased debug board. That 
Wiki page is talking about a few early boards that were shipped last 
year before the Neo1973 was offered for sale. None of the v2 boards that 
were sold in the Neo1973 advanced kits needed to be flashed, and AFAIK 
none of the Freerunner boards should need it.

Can some other Debug Board v3 owners please check to see what USB IDs 
their devices are reporting? If yours one is the only one with the wrong 
ID then it might be a good idea to ask Openmoko to exchange it while 
it's still under warranty.

Another note - Openmoko is using a different USB vendor ID for the 
Freerunner itself (0x1d50 vs. 0x1457). I don't know whether or not this 
change is also supposed to apply to the new debug boards.
