Where can I download older versions of XWLAN center?
I'm trying to get back to that version which had fixed
the error where the XWLAN center always reports back
one lan interface higher than the # of available ones.
So if lan1 is the last interface, XWLAN reports back
"lan2 disabled" and so forth.
That used to be fixed, but now that error is back
again, so I'd like to downgrade if possible.
