WiFix installs wrong version of NDISwrapper

wifish — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 23:04:36 -0000

We need to create a reverse mapping from drivers to the cards supported by them; it'll be for internal purposes. Given a device name (e.g., RT73USB v4), we need to be able to find the corresponding driver for the device, should the existing one become unavailable for any reason.

All too often, drivers are available for a limited time. I've written a script that uses the linkchecker program to ascertain whether the various drivers used are still available or not. This should be set up as a cron job on the server and should automatically remove any drivers that become unavailable for any reason. They should be placed in a quarantine for admin oversight; if the links are indeed dead, they need to be removed from the database.
