Buffalo WLA-G54, v1.3 firmware, Ethernet interface hosed?

Hi All,

I've upgraded the firmware in both of my WLA-G54 access points from
the 1.03 it shipped with to 1.30 (I guess was expecting a bit of speed
increase), and bam, the Ethernet interface is gone.

I've tried resetting them to factory defaults, and succeeded, several
times, but the LAN interface seems to be dead. No matter how many
times I reset it, no matter how many times I upload the 1.30 firmware.

It works fine over the wireless interface, I get the web config pages
and can play with the settings, but unfortunately, there's no "Fix
Ethernet" button. I know, I looked about a hundred times.

From the Ethernet side, I can't even ping the suckers. What's odd is
if I have "ping -t 192.168.11.1" running (ping continuously, the IP is
the factory default) and I reboot the device, I, more often than not,
do get replies to one or two pings. But as soon as the device fully
initializes itself, Ethernet goes back to sleep.

It goes like this:

...
request timed out
request timed out
Reply from 192.168.11.1: 13ms
Reply from 192.168.11.1: 4ms
request timed out

Has anyone seen this behavior? I'm surely not the only person with a
Buffalo WLA-G55 who upgraded to 1.30.

I'd dearly love to go back to 1.03 or any earlier firmware release,
there's a good chance that it would fix the problem, but Buffalo only
offers the very latest one for download from their site. Does anyone
have an earlier version? Maybe the oh-so-perfect 1.03? Or anything?
Note that I'm looking for firmware for the Euro model, there's
apparently a difference between the US and Euro versions, they won't
load each other's firmware. The files are only a few megs, email would
be great.
