(Sorry for the delayed response)
Not knowing if the images from the various Vendors were 100% compatible, the model number was appended to the end of the data. The appended model number was then used to identify which Vendor/Model the image was from.
Changing the driver to use an alias for the non-Retevis variants, removed the Model variable that was used to match the images back to the correct Vendor/Model.
All the owners of the WLN and Zastone radios need to do is download from their radios again and save to a new image and everything should be OK. It is just that their currently saved images will have to be manually selected to be upload to their radios.
Okay, you're just talking about the RT22 driver behavior specifically, right? Not "all drivers that use Alias" right?
So you're saying we should revert that patch and add the one new model as a proper subclass yes?
