3Com 3crwe454g72

Hi

Does anyone else here have a 3Com Officeconnect 11g access point (3crwe454g72)?

There's a security advisory

and when I upgrade the firmware to 1.03.07A I lose wireless connectivity- even after defaulting and reconfiguring the WAP, and with or withoutn WEP turned on (I use WEP, not WPA because I have a client that doesn't support WPA). If I then put the old firmware back, set to defaults, and reconfigure, it works again.

I tried to place a support call to 3Com, but they're not interested as the WAP is out of warranty.

This isn't a massive concern, as my wireless is seperately firewalled, and to exploit it you'd need access to the LAN or to have cracked the WEP (and I don't think anyone's going to be interested enough to do that), but I'd still prefer it upgraded.
