Hi,
I'm currently trying to setup a Linksys SRW2048 switch.
The switch came with version 1.0.0 of the firmware (circa 2005), which worked fine with Google Chrome and Safari on OSX.
However, I recently upgraded to 1.2.2 (circa 2009), and the in-built web configuration page doesn't seem to work in anything except for IE6 or IE7.
Chrome and Safari give me a whole bunch of resource not available errors, and the page itself doesn't render properly at all:
Firefox also doesn't render it properly either:
It seems a bit strange on Linksys/Cisco's part that they'd release an updated firmware that meant their switch could only be used by Internet Explorer.
I suppose this is a long shot, but there's no chance Cisco would ever release a fix for this issue?
Or failing that, are there any known workarounds to get this to work with Chrome, Safari, Firefox - anything other than IE? Or anything on OSX or Linux?
Also, I heard that firmware 1.2.1 still works on non-IE browsers - does anybody know any archives of older Linksys switch firmwares?
Cheers,
Victor

Hi Victor,
Here what you can d for Firefox and Netscape:
-Using Mozilla Firefox Web Browser:
(a) Install Firefox "IE Tab" add-ons. The latest version is available on https://addons.mozilla.org/
firefox/1419/
(b) Select Tools --> IE Tab. Add in the IP address of switches to Sites Fitters
(e.g. “http://172.18.1.27” accepts wildcard http://172.18.1.*).
(c) Ensure that cookies are enabled, by clicking "enable" to "All sites to set cookies" Tools ->
Options -> Privacy -> Cookies.
-Using Netscape Web Browser: Click the icon in the left corner, and select "IE Display".
Hope that helps.
