    If it doesn't get forced through WU and remain optional its good otherwise its pointless.
    Most modern WLAN/BT tech might not need SW based priority queue anymore.

    Not gonna happen, the 1525/1535/1435 drivers always came from Qualcomm, Killer never made drivers regardless of Intel or Qualcomm in the first place, just superficial tweaks to recognize the new HW IDs for the rebrands as far as I recall.

    I searched Qcomm main website for 1535 WLAN and BT driver but couldn't find any!
    Killer said they made/added better antenna or something.

    It would be a driver for the Qualcomm 6174A that's the actual card name. The 1435 is a stock 6174 non-A, the 1535 (QCA-6174A) is essentially the same but has more powerful amps.

    So from now on if we ever need to update the drivers for older cards such as 1435, are we supposed to rely on Windows Update ? I hope not, LOL

    I've migrated most of the drivers from nvidia, killer 1535, dell radio or airplane button driver, kionixx freefall drivers etc from OEM to MSFT WU based driver for better performance and battery life.
