Hi Everyone ^_^,
The update URL's for most of the Qualcomm drivers in the DRT is as below -
Now, the problem is that after visiting the Qualcomm's above Contact URL, I cannot find the link where the drivers are hosted for the Atheros product. Strangely, Atheros is not even mentioned as a product in the list. Honestly speaking it is like a maze there. Now, my question is what do we do with these entries? The Atheros driver links are one of the most visited links (Just my guess) and I believe that this should be changed. I tried searching for the Qualcomm Atheros drivers as well, but I could not find any repository which was official
Should we simply list the Atheros.cz website? Till now, it has provided the Atheros drivers for most of the people. Furthermore, the site is regularly updated and new versions are released.
Now, regarding the Killer Network Drivers, the Update URL is set to either bigfootnetworks.com or killergaming.com . The problem is that both of these websites are down. Big Foot Networks was acquired in 2011 by Qualcomm. Now, the co-founder and co-ceo who were at BigFootNetworks earlier merged with Qualcomm and worked there till 2014. Now, they seem to have created another company which goes by the name Rivet Networks. The support URL to their company is as below -
Killer Networking - Driver Downloads
The company is providing two types of drivers for the Killer NICs. One is the plain Vanilla version without the Killer features (Killer Suite which is known to cause problems) and the one which includes the Killer Suite.
Now, the confusion is should we change the current URL's to point to the above URL? Is the company legit? (It seems legit to my eagle eyes :0) )
