It's mentioned on this page:
<http://docswiki.gumstix.com/Net-wifi-microusd>

u-boot can only be configured one way or the other. If you get a netCF
it needs to be configured one way and with the netwifimicrosd it needs
to be configured the other.

The way gumstix manufactures stuff, the flash comes preprogrammed
(i.e. before it's soldered onto the board), and they don't know which
board you'll eventually wind up plugging into the verdex.
