WAC510 OS detection algorithms screwed up

This is not a request for assistance, it's a bug report about the latest firmware version (9.1.0.13) released over the weekend - the OS detection algorithms which worked in previous versions are now reporting incorrectly.

 

Windows 10 systems are being reported as Debian Linux,

Raspberry Pi's running Debian (stretch) are being reported as Gentoo Linux

Apple devices are being reported as "Unknown OS"

    Hi fordem 

     

    Could you please save the detailed logs from the monitoring page and send it to me via PM? Upload into google drive and send me the link.

     

    Thanks,

      So - my WAC510 is now telling me one of the connected devices is running OS/2 Warp - I can see two problems here, the first being I have nothing running OS/2, I haven't run OS/2 in over twenty years, and back when I was running OS/2 I didn't have WiFi, and the second is, OS/2 was pretty much dead & buried before WiFi became a thing.
