Has Linksys never released firmware updates for WRT54GS except for v3?

I have an old WRT54GS v1.1 router and thought I'd check if there were any firmware updates for it. After looking at Linksys page for WRT54GS I was surprised to find the words "No firmware/driver download available" under every single hardware version except v3.
Have they really never released firmware updates for any other version, or am I missing something?

If it's not on the LinkSys site, then either they have not updated it or they have not put it on the web-site. Have you searched for "WRT54GS firmware download"? If not, you should: some third-party sites hold withdrawn releases.

@AFH Thanks, I think I'll skip the third party sources though. My reasoning is that if I'm willing to risk installing the official firmware from an unofficial source, I might as well install an unofficial open firmware from its official source.
