The eeupdate and the lanconf tool is not working. These tools need the IQV driver. However once I load the latest driver, these tools errors out with the following messages:

Connection to QV driver failed - please reinstall it!

This output is with the older iqv driver version: 1.1.4.17

[root@xrsdev29 ~]# ./lanconf64e /VERSION

Connection to QV driver failed - please reinstall it!

Now, if I run the older tool, it does not complain. However, in both these cases the lanconf tool should have complained, as the iqv driver is not loaded in either of these cases.

[root@xrsdev29 ~]# lsmod |grep iqv

[root@xrsdev29 ~]#

After I load the iqv driver (latest):

[root@xrsdev29 ~]# modprobe iqv

[root@xrsdev29 ~]# modinfo iqv

[root@xrsdev29 ~]# ./lanconf64e /VERSION <------- New lanconf tool came with iqv driver. It still complains after loading the iqv driver

So, why the latest IQV driver does not work with the latest eeupdate and lanconf tools, whereas older driver with older tools works!

Thanks
