# To use an updated version of the drivers that may be online, just edit the version variable with the version you would like to download (NOTE: some downloads require an "a" at the end of the version number while others do not. Ex. for 1.0.18 theres alsa-driver-1.0.18a and alsa-lib-1.0.18, to edit this just add an "a" after the "version" on the first wget.
