D-Link has removed the controversial DIR-655 1.30 "Beta" firmware from its support site and posted version 1.31. The new firmware makes no mention of removing 802.11b, but is still non-downgradeable.

The company apparently wants to pretend that the whole incident did not happen, since it has removed any references to the 1.30 "Beta" firmware from its release notes and has not released any statement on its "feedback" exercise.
