AirPorts treated to extreme updates from Apple

Today marked the release of yet one more update for any and all standard AirPorts. Yes, even our favorite new AirPort Extreme with 802.11n support got a little boost today. The AirPort Base Station Update 2007-001 fixes/updates the following applications:
- AirPort Utility
- AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite/Snow base staions
- AirPort Disk Utility
- AirPort Disk Agent
For some odd reason the update will not appear in Software Update for me. Thus I would recommend downloading it directly from Apple.com.
Update: It appears as though Apple’s support site is in error. Although the 2007-001 update claims it is for “the AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n, AirPort Extreme Base Station and AirPort Express Base Station,” the update will only install on systems with the AirPort Utility v5.1 installed. This is the utility which ships with the 802.11n AirPort Extreme.
The older AirPort Extreme, as well as the AirPort Express both utilize the AirPort Admin Utility (the most current version of which is 6.3.) Thus the 2007-001 update appears it is only for the 802.11n enabled AirPort. Sorry for the confusion.

This update requires Airport Utility 5.0 (which I apparently don't have). I assume it only comes with the new Airport Extreme Base Station and possibly AppleTV which might explain why it's not showing up on Software Update. Funny, because I have an Aiport Express Base Station which the update page says this software supports.
