4. Fixed WPS issue: Beacon lost when STA tries to do WPS with WPS AP or STA connects to hidden AP.
5. Fixed WPS issue: WPS procedure is taking much longer than before.
6. Corrected WPS behavior: According to the response from WFA: while doing PBC, STA shall stop if STA finds more than one AP avaliable.
7. Fixed issue: WPS failed with Ralink WpaSupplicant when STA's privacy is different from AP's privacy. (for example: AP is WPA2PSK but STA is OPEN)

			   STA may always connect to AP with different WPAPSK if the RSSI of that AP is better than the correct one.
13. Support TxRx ring PRE-ALLOC in probe stage: set RESOURCE_PRE_ALLOC=y in config.mk.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
