I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 710, which is not supported in the 500 series drivers, so I'm forced to use the legacy driver (v470.182.03).
This is set with the Nvidia Driver plugin.
While on 6.11.5 and doing the update os to 6.12, it fires off the plugin helper which upgrades nvidia driver to latest v535.54.03.
This was suboptimal as this driver does not support my video card. It would be nice if the plugin helper would ignore upgrading if the user is using the legacy 470.x drivers (As its probably by design).
Before rebooting to have it boot up on 6.12, I tried downgrading back to 470.141.03, which it said it did.
Jun 15 16:50:00 husky emhttpd: cmd: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/nvidia-driver/include/exec.sh update_version 470.141.03
Once updated+downloaded, rebooting to 6.12 it booted up with nvidia driver v535.54.03 
Throwing message about my video card not supported and I need to use 470.x.
I downgraded again and rebooted, this time it DID boot up on 470
Unable to provide logs to show more details since the tips and tricks plugin 'Enable syslog Archiving?' looks to have stopped working on 6.12.
So the only 6.12 logs I have is the current log where it shows it loading the correct 470 legacy drivers as expected.
