I have standalone S2 with 4.0.1b on it. It shipped with 4.0.1, and I only have a D-Link DWL-122 network adapter for it, so I had to run setup and download 4.0.1a at a friends before I hooked it up at home. I just bought another standalone S2, same model, with the same network adapter, and ran the setup at a friends, but forgot to make a call to get the software update. So it has 4.0.1 on it, which doesn't support the D-Link adapter.

Would it cause any issues to restore the 4.0.1b image from my older S2 to the one I just bought? I'm pretty sure it would be ok on my end. I'm mostly concerned with screwing up my account. I remember this being discussed a couple of years ago, but I couldn't find anything on it recently. Thanks.

What would be the point? You still need to run guided setup with a phone line.

i already ran the setup. i just forgot to make the call to get 4.0.1b. since i'm putting a bigger hard drive in anyways, i figured i could just use the image i already had. if not, i can take it back over there and call to get the update.

That should be OK as long as that unit is registered as running 4.0.1b (I assume this is the case as I don't think a roll-out is in progress).

You have to do a 'clear and delete everything' reset to get this image working, so you will have to repeat Guided Setup, but presumably you can do that over the net.
