wc7500 wireless controller will not load 6.5.5.18

I told it I was in England (GMT) and I got it to update.

Additional info: So, I cancelled the "future" upgrade and told it to reboot from partition 2. After telling me it is rebooting, it comes back *STILL* running partition 1 (6.5.5.0) but now says it will upgrade tomorrow at 00.42.07, and partition 1 is still showing as the boot-from partition.
This UI isn't just badly documented and dysfunctional. It is also woefully misleading.
My guess is that it *will* reboot at some point, that it *probably* loaded the 6.5.5.18 firmware last week, and that it has serious bugs in the clock handling routines.
