Several standalone BD players don't include an ethernet port (all of the Sonys, for example), but firmware updates have been handled by burning a disc with an updater file downloaded from the manufacturer's website and then running the disc in the player. Sony and Panasonic have been good with providing firmware updates in this manner, so I understand. Not sure that a player can be updated to Profile 2.0 this way, however--I know you can't update a 1.0 player to 1.1 via a firmware update, as it requires new/different hardware.
