AT49BV002A(N)'s ID is 0x07 afaics and that's equal to AT49F002(N)... hm.
what did you try? does probing with the nicintel_spi code help?

the upload/site seems broken to me, but i guess you are able to read,
so... (i was thinking of a possible misunderstanding on my side
previously). :)

that data sheet contains much more than that... and also parallel flash
interface descriptions.
but... appendix paragraph B.2 says:
The 82540EP/EM does not support a parallel FLASH interface.
so it is certainly not exactly the same problem i had; and i cant
help you further right now, sorry.
