Due to changed Microsoft driver signing requirements, in addition to downloading the full product software set listed below, also download the latest Windows device drivers using the link in Step 1 and use these instead of the drivers in the full product set.

This release is for all the current FarSync adapters including the FarSync Flex version 3.
The new driver included in this release must be used with FarSync Flex V3 but is also backwards compatible with FarSync Flex V2.

The FarSync K2Ee card requires the V5 driver available here

V4.0.0 is a major release with fixes and enhancements to the previous
version (farsync-2.3.6-b307) as listed in the Readme file available below.

Please note that as of release 4.0.0, the following support is being deprecated:

. WAN-mode
. 32-bit support
. Network script support
. RAW API mode

These features are no longer supported in the subsequent major release (5.0.0) of the FarSync Drivers for Linux.

The V4 drivers support Linux kernel versions <= 5.19. For later kernel versions, the V5 drivers (or later) should be used.

Please note that FarSite can still offer maintenance and support for the Release 4.0.0 drivers for existing customers.
