Trying to remote install a client with intel 82546EB gig-
ethernet. The driver is called E10005nt.sys. There is
already E10005nt.sys in the original 2000 installation.
Using either one I get an error saying it doesn't support
my network i/f. The new driver - which is newest available-
lacks a digital signature. The docs also say you can't
replace a sig with non-sig driver. moan.

So I did a local install on the client, added the driver
then networked to the server and did a riprep. Boot the
new image and it still says the network i/f is not
supported.
Is there anything other that hunting down an (probably
older) 82546EB signed driver?

You could try dumping the driver files (inf, dll) into the
i386 folder of your flat file image you made with
risetup. It worked for newer intel 10/100 cards on the
dells I have here.
 
You can use unsigned drivers.

Download the latest drivers for the nic and follow the steps in this
article. You will need to edit the *.sif file in your RIS image as follows:

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
Oempnpdriverspath = \Drivers\nic\
DriverSigningPolicy = ignore
