Integrating nvidia ethernet driver doesn't work

[domyrat]

What topic says, i integrated my nforce2 nvidia ethernet driver with nlite. In .iso file there is a dir /NLDRV/001/ and there are files NVCOE.DL_, NVENET.SY_, OEM4.IN_. When i install windows driver isn't installed, why? I can include my .ini files if needed.

Ok first off just how sure are you these are the right drivers?

Also without the .cat the are non-signed drivers meaning windows won't automatically use them unless you have stated to ignore the driver sgning policy in your winnt.sif.

Look for signed drivers that go with your device.

or post an actual name and model here so we can help you look.

Ok, i downloaded the drivers from nvidia homepage and extracted them. I got few directories and i think this is right one for that ethernet driver:

\nForce_5.10_WinXP2K_WHQL_international\Ethernet\PreNRM\WinXP

This is screenshot of the files inside that dir:

here is a part from my winnt.sif

[unattended]

UnattendMode=DefaultHide

UnattendSwitch="Yes"

OemPreinstall="Yes"

OemSkipEula="Yes"

FileSystem=*

WaitForReboot="No"

NoWaitAfterTextMode=1

NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1

DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

That ethernet card is integrated on my nforce 2 motherboard and i it says "Nvidia nforce networking controller"

That dir looks right.

[domyrat]

That dir looks right.

so what's the problem then?

here i attached my .inf files

BADGERLITE06122007.INI

BADGERLITE06122007_U.INI

does it make any difference if i installed that win with integrated driver on virtual machine, not real computer.

[omeneghe]

Yes it make difference, because also the hardware is virtualized on virtual machine, the guest operating system can't access the hardware directly.

The nvidia ethernet driver is for real computer, real ethernet card.

I can confirm that I successfully integrated the nvidia nForce2 drivers into my nLite iso, and when I installed from it the nvidia ethernet interface was working fine.

I used the all-in-one nForce2 driver set though (audio, SMBus etc. etc.), version 1.16, not the standalone ethernet driver.
