urbi doesn't work since firmware update

Since the firmware update Urbi doesn't work. I get output identical to the following.

I've tried recompiling the urbi ARDrone module with the following patch, but it doesn't work. (The patch applies cleanly and the module actually compiles, but later doesn't work).

https://projects.ardrone.org/issues/show/67

So my question is, what are our options? Does an older version of the firmware exist on line? If it did, could we even install it without bricking the drone? I am going to write to the guy who first published the urbi module for the ARDrone, but until I hear from someone like that I'm just going to work on Android apps.
