New support for wifi


gosh

Recommended Posts

ince the dawn of time, Windows PE (WinPE) has not had any support for the 802.1x authentication protocol. This meant that any network deployment of Windows via a network secured with 802.1x was a non-starter, causing headaches for a few on my customers; I actually had one customer that ran new network cables to a majority of the desks in order to be able to deploy Windows XP over the network.

However, thanks in part to a colleague of mine who worked on this, Microsoft has released hotfixes that now add 802.1x support to both WinPE 2.1 and WinPE 3.0. You can get the hotfixes and further information at the below links:

WinPE 2.1: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975483

WinPE 3.0: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972831

I tried to use dism to "install" the HotFix KB972831 in Windows PE 3.0 boot.wim file mounted with imagex in folder mount,

but it fails giving me

Error: 0x800f081e

The specified package is not applicable to this image.

Used in XP OS at Deployment Tools Command Prompt:

Dism /image:F:\winpe3_x86\mount /Add-Package /PackagePath:F:\winpe3_x86\fix283119\Windows6.1-KB972831-x86.cab

Can someone help me to solve the problem ?

So this is not wireless functionality? Are you sure it seems like they are talking about wireless.

jaclaz i just copied my post from a Microsoft blog. All content was directly from microsoft. So its not a question of not telling the truth, if Microsoft says it works it works.
