Read about AirPort Utility 5.4.1 and AirPort firmware 7.4.1 updates, only see the AirPort Utility 5.4.1 available.
With these updates, does anyone know if Airport Extreme be able to back up with Time Machine, with an external USB hard drive attached to the Airport Extreme?
Dude, Airport Express' USB does not work for Hard Drive.
That's what I recall.
Only for Printer.
Therefore, it's a hardware limitation.
I don't think even upgrading would give you Time Machine support.
It's what Marketing terms call Product Segmentation.
As for AirPort Extreme, I have AEBS and Iomega MiniMax and that's how I use my Time Machine.
And it works, now, I'll add another Iomega MiniMax.
Cool, does TM also work remotely? It should as already had this working over AFP using the IP address of my TC. But I naturally would like to have IPsec for that. Which AFP does not have.
Any chance of linking a free OpenDNS account to a TC?
This doesn't answer your question, but in the past using Back to My Mac I've been able to access the external hard drives connected to my mini at home, including the disk my TM backup image is on. Time Machine would try to run an automatic backup, but would fail when trying. However, I was on a very slow internet connection, so I'm not sure if the problem was that it's not possible (in which case it should have known better than to try) or if the connection simply timed out.
As revealed in an AppleInsider article in Jan, the previous gen Time Capsule could not saturate a gig-E ethernet connection. Is there any info on whether this new one can?

So, like I said on Macrumours Forum, as far as I have my settings.
AEBS works in Time Machine, using external USB HDD plugged into the USB Port.
When I got my AEBS (802.11n) back in Summer 2007. You need to update the firmware and enable the Disk something function, and mount your external HDD.
You can also assign User who can access the HDD.
Uhm, DUDE, it was possible to use a USB attached hard drive with AEBS, TOTALY DUDE. It was NOT possible to use it for Time machine.

So does the drive spin down when not in use? Or is it like the ATV, always turning?

It becomes nearly silent, so I would guess that it spins down. Don't know it for a technical certainty.

Yes, follow the below listed link titled : Using the AirPort Admin Utility to create a WDS network with multiple base stations
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107454
I would think bridge mode is better to set up than WDS...
