7.5.2 firmware update causes samba read performance to be slow.

Anybody has a resolution for following problem. With 7.4.1 I had an acceptable wireless speed to my macbook, from 2 different samba mounts directly connected to the airport extreme: one nas over gigabit, one linux machine on 100mbit.

After updating to 7.5.2 the write performance is still good but reading from either the nas or the linux machine is a factor of 100-1000 slower then the write performance.....

Does anyone has a link to download the old firmware (7.4.1)? which seems not to be downloadable from the support page.
Any tips or tricks?

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

I am having exactly the same issue. SMB is super slow and I get only 1.6MB reading from TC share.

I am going to downgrade to 7.4.x

Thank you for the tip!
