The more oddball cases I fix now, the fewer problems I'll have later. Recognizing different driver versions is not always easy. Sometimes, you can tell by looking in the .inf file that comes with the driver binary: some vendors put a driver version tag or comment in there somewhere. That method is unreliable though, so the best method is to look inside the driver binary itself. The driver version should be encoded in the binary in unicode format. The simplest way to see it is with strings(1): % strings -e l w70n51.sys | more VS_VERSION_INFO StringFileInfo 040904B0 Comments NDIS 5.1 Miniport Driver CompanyName Intel Corporation FileDescription Intel PRO/Wireless LAN Driver FileVersion 1.2.1.11 <----- tada InternalName w70n51.SYS LegalCopyright Copyright Intel Corporation 2003 OriginalFilename w70n51.SYS ProductName Intel PRO/Wireless LAN Adapter ProductVersion 1.0.0.0 VarFileInfo Translation I got one the other day that was version 1.2.0.56, and I have at least two others handy that are 1.2.1.3 and 1.2.1.1, respectively. I can't tell you exactly what the differences are, but I've learned not to assume that all will work. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Engineer, Master of Unix-Fu wpaul_at_windriver.com | Wind River Systems ============================================================================= <adamw> you're just BEGGING to face the moose =============================================================================Received on Fri Apr 23 2004 - 13:09:45 UTC
