• Who do I thank for this free upgrade?
• Who the hell is this Mr. Cornell guy and how do I sue him?

First off:

Tony Hoyle - this fellow was the first to discover that some 5260's are 5660's and who hacked the firmwares in the first place. "It was he who freed the first ones." - The Matrix

Short answer: I'm me, I think. ;)

Long answer: I'm just a DSLreports.com member who had a 5260 courtesy of Covad. When Tony figured out they could be upgraded I threw together a really "quick N dirty" FAQ to spread the word. The FAQ has evolved somewhat since then. ;)

Don't bother trying to sue me. I not am providing anything illegal, in fact I no longer have any "hacked" firmwares as I have long ago made my 5260 into a 5660. I'm providing this information strictly for informational and/or educational purposes. All copyright laws apply to the intellectual property of Efficient Networks, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens AG (the German semiconductor giant). There, I acknowledged the company that makes the product. Now leave me alone. ;)
