Airport Express Software Update?

I just went to the Airport Admin Utility to do a reset, and it told me there was new software available to upload to my base station. It uploaded and reset fine. Was this part of Tiger? Anyone else see this?
 
I have an APE at home. When I made a SU this morning, it found nothing to upgrade which is a bit weird since I hadn't DL iTunes 4.8.
I havent heard anything about updated software to APE. My impression is that SU has behaved a bit strange after I installed Tiger.
Do you run Tiger?

Yes, I installed Tiger last Friday. However I just turned my AE back on yesterday so it hadn't had a chance to change anything yet, if that is the case.

I also downloaded iTunes 4.8

edit: halfway to Avatar status...booya!

How's the range?

Also, I currently have a Linksys AP that works great but a netgear router that gets reset no less than once a day. Any problems with having to power cycle the APE to get it to work again?

Access point only right now. My range is good. I have about a 2,000 sq ft one-story home and I get signal throughout easily. I'm even sharing my signal with my old Compaq desktop. My church is about 200 yards away and I get intermitent (sic?) useable signal there.

yeah, I'm the youth minister and I live in the Vicarage. I help my priest with paperwork and newsletters and stuff so we're often sending things back and forth while I'm over there.

This was probably an old update that you downloaded awhile ago and forgot about. It was triggered when you opened AAU for the first time (since download).
 
Thanks for reminding me. It was indeed an old update, but I was away from home for a while, so I don't have a chance to connect to my APExtreme and APExpress. They're now 5.5.1 and 6.1.1 respectively.
