Hi,

i think you have a onboard nic and use the intel inf installer package - right?

You can use 2 ways:

1. Silent Installation under a running Windows

2. integrating the drivers to your windows setup

In both cases, do the follwing. Use WinRAR to decompress the files to a folder of your choice. There is a readme file, in this is every switch for a silent installation and a comment howto proof that the files are installed.

If you want to integrate the drivers to your setup, you can takte a look at unattend windows forum. You need a winnt.sif file for the location of your drivers and you have to build your own custom windows cd. There are a lot ways and more help.

Hope that helps, greez, Sie Tjin Kian

No, I'm using a 10/100 Intel Pro Card. It's a separate PCI Network card. I was wondering how would you silently install the driver. Btw the driver is a separate .exe file that you have to download from intel's website. The problem is that it doesn't seem to install itself and the .exe extract itself to C:\. Maybe you can give me some more specific information?

All you've got to do:

1) extract

2) look for the CORRECT inf file and other needed files

3) add this to $OEM\$1\Drivers and add entries to your winnt.sif

4) finished!

All this is described at THE tutorial, http://unattended.msfn.org

Can you be a bit more specific? I downloaded the driver from this link, http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df...al&submit=Go%21, and I extracted the files to a folder. I can't seem to locate the .inf file for my Intel Pro/100 S Desktop Adapter. Can you take a look at the file and tell me the specifics? Thx
