Adding support for a PCMCIA device

[Thomas Johansen]

Hi

What i best pratice to ad support for PCMCIA cards ( not availible in TD, so
I have to make them with Component Designer) in my image ?

I what WinXP Embedded to install the drivers when inserted in the PCMCIA !!
Is there any best practice to follow ? I don't whant WinXP Emb to have the
driver installed default, but only be able to find and install the driver
when needed !!

Have you tried to copy all driver files in their appropriate folders?

When you connect new hardware PnP will find inf file and install device
driver.

The component is working find. But when I first insert my PCMCIA card, "New
Hardware found" dialog comes up. I then press next a few time and the driver
is known by eXP and installeds in eXP.
If the PCMCIA card is ejected and inserted again, eXP is installing the
driver again, but with no user dialog.
That is what I whant it to do the first time to. Just loading the driver
with no asking.

Thomas,

Can you run FBA with the card in question inserted into the target machine?

I hope that this will reach you. I'm trying to use other ISP.

I did

You should remove Component "Add New Hardware Wizard"

Nope.. Is needed else where !!

Or you should use signed drivers.

They are not :-(

Or you can try to disable verification of signed drivers.

This is for current user.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing\Policy = 0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing\Policy - For device wide.

Yes.. This is probaly a good idea.
I also try runing FBA with the PCMCIA card inserted.. !!!

Also all of your files must be in their folders.

I have tried that. Doesn't care. I still have to select the driver first
time....
