WRT1900AC V1 Wireless driver version?

I see on the download site for the WRT1900AC V1 in the newgui subfolder there is a new build dated 8/13/2016. This is after Marvell released their latest and, in my opinion best driver. Driver version 10.3.0.18-20160804 and includes both new wireless firmware plus new drivers.

Obvious question is does the 8/13/2016 builds include these new drivers? If so I will give it a go on my router otherwise will stick with Openwrt/LEDE. I get better performance, speed, with these drivers then I have gotten with OEM. DD-WRT has latest drivers and comes close to Openwrt/LEDE.

Another option, if it could be done on Gargoyle, is to drop the binary blob into Gargoyle. Would that work?

So what wireless version is in this build?

The WRT1900AC is not an atheros chip set. It is a Marvell chip set so I still do not know the answer to my question.
Hate to do an install to find out when the person doing the compiles should know. Install and then remove is not an exercise I wish to do. :D

I already answered your duplicate question here

Yes. Latest.

For clarification, that site is my personal site and any builds on there are unofficial.

Sorry. For some reason I could not find your first response. :oops: Understand the possibilities that there could be a problem as it is "beta/unofficial".

Guess the next step is to download and install. Have liked the options and gui in the past so am looking forward to giving the latest a try. Have to find a window of downtime. Have a wife that needs her email fix at times throughout the day plus a 16 year old girl that relies on the wireless for her entertainment. :D

Will update when I get a window to install.
