I want my XPE image to contain support for more than one network adapter.
Only one NIC is used in each system . I have added the components for the
Netgear FA311 and Intel Pro100. Only the one installed during FBA is
recognized.

Assuming I can do this, what should I add?

My setup is SP1, MinLogon, CMD shell, no Netsh, with the "TCPIP with Client"
networking macro. PnP (Kernel Mode) and PnP (User Mode) are included.


Thanks for help,

Tom Salicos
 
Tom,

If you have both network driver in the image, only one will be installed
during FBA. There is nothing more to add, unless you need static TCP/IP.

Of course, there maybe other components that get pulled in during dependency
check.

Tom,

Just presence of appropriate inf and sys files should be enough, no
component required for registering at all.

But to be honest I can't remember if I have modified inf file for network
adapter, since I have modified most of other inf files to remove unnecessary
dependencies and files.

This is needed because original inf file tend to install much more that a
simple driver, and if all dependencies for those user mode files are not
resolved installation can fail.

Best regards,
Slobodan
