To the best of my knowledge, it was fixed in 1.6. I'm not sure if the
fix was merged back into the 1.5 branch. I'd suggest just going with
1.6.1, as the 4000/90 is quite fast, and shouldn't have any issues with
1.6 being a bit slower than 1.5. Also, if you *do* manage to b0rk the
firmware, links to both the firmware image and the tool to write it were
posted a while back, you can probably find them if you search the list
archives.
