I'm trying to update gentoo but I don't actually see an update for the
firmware images here:

http://files.ettus.com/binaries/master_images/

I only see rc1.  Also of note, typically releases are always put into
archive/ at the same time so we have a link that will be valid for the
longer term.

Please advise.
