Download version 2.23 (updated 05/01/2008)
As a result of major changes in many of the firmwares released since the start of 2008, Description Extender is no longer under active development. In many cases it can be replaced by the more efficient DescExt firmware patch, although some TAPs may not yet support the patch yet.
