3.03.1 firmware gpl source available?

I just got at wrt54g v2.2 and find that it's loaded with firmware 3.03.1

The latest I see at linksys (http://www.linksys.com/support/gpl.asp) is 3.01.3

Am I missing something or is 3.03.1 not GPLed?


Thanks,

Ted

As far as I can tell, 3.01.3 is the latest firmware that can be downloaded
at ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/

Maybe 3.03.1 is a typo...

Maybe, but the router status page says:

v3.03.1, Oct. 18, 2004

which is a pretty recent date. The 'release' directory on 3.1.03 seems to be
dated 30 Sep 04, and the name the whole tree extracts into: 'WRT54G_3_01_3_0922'
suggests it was frozen on 22 Sep...

Do worry about whether you have the latest firmware or not ... if the
thing works fine I always leave it alone.

And if the new firmware fixes some sort of hacker exploitable bug?

nothing to worry about unless you have stuff that could threaten our
national security

No just saving people a lot of headaches when they really dont need to
do stuff just because they think its needed.

BTW, I have had a note from linksys saying they don't have a 3.03.1 firmware,
and to use 3.01.3.

Since the router definitely reports that it's runnin 3.03.1, I suspect there
is a simple transposition typo somewhere.

That is the kind of mentality that is responsible for all the infected windows
machines on the internet. Manufacturers don't release firmware updates for no
reason. They release because a security problem or bug has been discovered.
