[driverloader] Misc. problems with the driverloader module

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

the INF file still says "1.2.0.58", but if you run "strings -el
/var/lib/driverloader/w70n51.sys", you will see "1.2.1.1".

Did you have this version of the binary file already?

Maybe Alexandre can tell us where he got his "1.2.1.3" from.

Also, please let us know if you have the same results (using a daemon to
autoconfigure or not).

Regards,

Hi,
Thanks for the swift answer.
The driver at that location is still the 07/31/2003,1.2.0.58 version.
I'd love to give the new driver a swing, any other locations for that driver
?

Thanks
