This update is brilliant it has improved the signal from my access point
considerably. Until it died I had a Netgear access point which I had
tweaked to 100mW now my new WAP54G gives me around the same range.

By the way the link from the seattlewireless website to the firmware is
broken, however I managed to find the update by trawling through a Dutch
forum site. 

If anyone needs the update let me know and I will make it available.
