Ours claims to have firmware R2.05.b4t6, ADSL driver version 
1.3.5.03182002.0001.  It came from the Iinet web site somewhere.  If you
want, I can dig up the URL for it.  We've still been getting lousy
connection times with it (almost always <12hrs, generally less).  Back when
we were on dialup, we used to stay connected for 24hrs at a time, often a
lot longer.  Whether it's Telstra, Iinet or D-Link to blame, I don't know.
