Installing Network Device Drivers

[metalguy90]

i have been trying to install Device drivers for a series of IBM R51 laptops that I have .....

i have placed the 2 sets of drivers i want to install (1 for the ethernet card, and 1 for the wireless).

I have placed the files in the following directory

D:\I386\$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS\R51\NETWORK

D:\I386\$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS\R51\WIRELESS

(D:\ being the drive of my CD)

i have tried many different combinations to get this to work (remove the quotes from the statement, include the quotes, tried under different folders, etc.. etc...)

what is it that i am doing wrong?

do i need DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore before OemPnPDriversPath?

do i need NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore?

please help! I have spent all day working on this!?!?!?!?!? :S

here is my WINNT.SIF file:

well, the Windows 2000 Guide To Unattended Setup which comes from the CD lists DriverSigningPolicy as the second option on the list of available entries for the [unattended] section, and oempnpdriverspath is waaay down the list.

On the basis of this, I'm going to put Signing policy above pnpdriverspath
