Paul:

For older Linksys firmware versions, try:
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/befsr41/

and look for files starting with: befvp41

Looks like your choices are:
befvp41-1402.zip
befvp41_1403f.zip
befvp41_1404.zip
befvp41_1411.zip

Back off the URL by one notch and you get a lot more Linksys FTP'able stuff:
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/
