The readme on the v2.07 US firmware (for v2 hardware) carries no such warning... Apparently they pay more attention to things like this in Europe! :) Actually, since my initial problems a few months back - just last week in fact - they released another version of 2.07 for the v1.1 hardware... The readme in _that_ zip file mentions that you must be running 1.09.1 on v1.0 / v1.1 hardware or the install won't work. But, if you get the other 2.07 firmware - the one that has been available for some time now - all you get is the claim that it supports all versions of the WAP54G hardware, and no other warnings: Version 2.07, April 28, 2004 - Adds Linksys Wireless Guard support Note:WPA does not work in Wireless Bridge/Repeater mode in this release Version 2.06, December 16, 2003 (ver.2 initial release) - Updated User Interface format and layout - Updated wireless driver to support all versions of WAP54G hardware - Adds AP Client Mode - Adds Wireless Repeater Mode for WAP54G and WRT54G (requires fw 2.02.2 or above) Note:WPA does not work in Wireless Bridge/Repeater mode in this release http://www.linksys.com/download/vertxt/wap54gv2_fw_ver207.txt But thank you to everyone who pointed out this document - http://www.linksys.com/download/vertxt/WAP54GupgradeprocedureV2.doc - It definitely was information that helped... -----Original Message----- From: Richard Bjerregaard [mailto:bjerregaard@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 6:15 PM To: bugtraq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Connor, Ethan M.
