Conexant-Ambit SoftK56 Modem Driver

[NiteWatchman]

Hello all, I am a newbie to the whole unattened install. The MSFN site is VERY cool and has helped me to understand this process. Anyway, enough praises. I slipstreamed SP2 and made an unattended CD without problem. I am using my laptop as the test victim. (Sony VIAO PCG FX-120) This laptop is old enough that Win XP seems to find most of the drivers, except the modem. I went to Sony's site and downloded the latest driver. It is a self extacting archive file. I used WinRAR to extract, but it is a setup.exe, and a couple of .cab files, etc. Driver Download

I don't know how y'all find all of this information on quiet installs, but I am looking for a way to add this to my unattened install. This is probably an easy one for y'all, but like I said, I am a newbie. I appreciate ANY help.

Thank you.

Did you take a look at the guide already? I guess not in your case...

Thank you for responding. Yes, I read that page. I tried to do the .iss file suggestions, but I found no .iss file in c:\windows. (yes, I ran th command line with the -R switch)

I did find an inf file. I am working on a few ideas to see what works. I did notice that the setup copies temp files to c:\windows\temp. There it creates a modemxp folder with .sys files and one inf. The setup deletes that folder when you answer YES or NO on the question of would you like to reboot now. So I copied those files to $OEM$\$1\Drivers\003_modem and see if that does anything. I am burning to a CDRW @ 4x, so it will take about 30-40 minutes before I will know if that works.

Woo Hoo! It worked! Once I finally found the .inf file and put it in the \$OEM$\$1\Drivers path, windows found it and installed the modem driver. VERY cool.

What was throwing me off on this was the fact that the temp folder wasn't there to get these files. At the end of the "normal" install process, the setup would delete the folder when you abswer YES or NO to the reboot now question.

OK with that step accomplished....on to bigger and better stuff (reg edits).

Thanks again.
