There is new firmware for the WAP11. In the main it fixes some annoying and minor bugs. But the newest feature is that it permits the WAP11 to be used as a repeater. There have been several less than successful ways to do this with using D-Link and other firmware hacks. This one is straight from Linksys. I tested it for a brief period this weekend and it seemed to work as well as any repeater (i.e. you lose 1/2 your bandwidth).
As a general maintenance release of firmware this seems nice, but not critical. You do not have to rush out and update the firmware unless you want the repeater function.
Best.
