Well, according to the release note URL I posted, this version was built on 2/24/05, when it presumably went into beta testing. The version string in the actual code says 3/3/05, which I guess is when they resolved anything discovered in testing. The first customer support email I recieved from Linksys yesterday referred to it as a beta release that they could send me if I wanted to try it. An hour or so later, I got an email from the same support person saying that it was now released as stable on the web site. My rash assumption is that I was able to provide the boot that kicked a long-overdue update that was languishing in QA out the door. But thanks for the credit in any case. matto On Tue, 12 Apr 2005, Luke Youngblood wrote: I hate to break it to you, but it's highly unlikely that someone clueful at Linksys actually read William's email, fixed the firmware, put it through quality assurance, and released it to the public, all within the space of about 24 hours...
