Note the warning on the BIOS download page:

:: It is not recommended to "downgrade" a BIOS to an older version
:: than the one a board is supplied with.

I imagine this is particularly pertinent with very recent boards;
from the release notes:

  * added support for new BIOS flash chip for net48xx

Presumably the flash chip has changed and isn't supported by
old BIOS versions.
