Nforce4 network card missing

[Dexx]

I'm very happy with nLite. However i'm having an issue with the NIC on a couple of nForce boards - an nforce4 board and an i650 board. All installs fine - i can see the NIC in device manager and if i run ipconfig from a command prompt it shows up fine. However, "network connections" is completely blank.

My DFI nforce board has two nics - an nVidia one and a Marvell one. If i install the Marvell NIC, it shows up fine. However, even uninstalling and reinstalling the latest nForce drivers fails to make the nForce NIC show.

Ive installed full XP versions on this machine and didnt see this issue. My guess is that there is some component which i have removed via nlite which is causing the hassle. Has anyone encountered (and fixed) this?
