WD My Book Elite NAS and Mac Lion/Time Machine

Hi all,

I’ve goot my My Book Elite as an NAS via USB to Apple Airport Extreme.  As all of you know, Time Machine worked fine pre Lion but no there are issues with Lion.  I know this is do to a protocol change in Lion.  It seems WD has updated the WD My Book Live firmware to be compatable with Lion. 

However, when will my Elite HD be updated to work with Lion?  Will a universal firmware update be provided?

WD has not given notice for Lion updates until the issues with the their NAS drives are solved, so it could come but there’s no way to know when, specially since they don’t support their external USB drives being used as a NAS, so the update for general Lion compatibility could come today but that doesn’t mean that it will fix this.
