Dear Linksys: Your broken WET54GS5 makes me sad.

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.

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...
Although the IP backbone might not run without a lot of the people on this
list, we're not that important.... :-)
