Intel WLAN software patches

Thread Starter 
Intel has announced that it has a new updated software that has been patched because of 3 vulnerabilities which sounded critical to me.
News source: PC World

However, I'm wondering when will ASUS provide the OEM version for Asus Z70Va.

Any ideas?

erm, where did you find the updated 50+ mb file?

The generic software + driver is 129mb from intel.com.

thanks. But the question is still unanswered. Will Asus provide an update to their drivers as well? It doesn't seem like a good idea to use the generic one at intel.com.

Any ideas when or if ever? Or does Asus NEVER update their drivers? That'd be a baaaad follow service...

I wish I knew when. Asus doesn't update drivers nearly as often a Intel, but they do update them periodically. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you when to expect the next update, however given the security issue with older drivers, they will hopefully come out with a new update soon.

I'm not speaking with any authority here, but Asus strikes me as the type of company that would upgrade drivers if there were a reason, but not if there weren't. So, in this case, being a security threat, I think it's safe to say that they will.

This is all just hypothetical though. I honestly have no idea if they will or not...
