Both the HOMEPAGE and the SRC_URI are "404 Not Found."

For those looking for a mirror, I found the following through google.  It checks out against the checksum in the current ebuild, so no hacks necessary :)

^^ Copy to your /usr/portage/distfiles

Someone should really update this though, their firmware is MUCH newer now.

Good luck!
