The Battlefield Vietnam Website (thanks BattleField Central) has a report on plans to release a version 1.02 patch next week to address a crash to desktop issue and a related client disconnect problem introduced with the version 1.01 update. They also discuss the HomeFront Mod, some comics on Northern Brigade from 420th Inf. Div., and more on plans for the upcoming version 1.1 patch:

Meanwhile, DICE has been hard at work on moving the 1.1 update forward. Today we are featuring a screenshot from "The Defense of Con Thien", the free map bundled with 1.1. The view below is from the middle of the DMZ (or Demilitarized Zone), and takes in the desolation of the area as well as the NVA defenses above. As you can see, the DMZ is a killing zone, littered with the wreckage of downed vehicles and surrounded at both ends by artillery pieces, stationary machine guns and watchtowers (US-owned defenses are not pictured). Not a safe place to venture on foot, the DMZ is best crossed in vehicles and in force (lest you catch a bullet in your brain pan).
