Setting Up Intel(R) 10GbE Network Connection Drivers for Microsoft* Windows* PE ******************************************************************************* To set up network drivers for Microsoft* Windows* PE, you must import files from the Intel(R) Network Connections software download to the Windows PE image. Follow the directions that are appropriate for your operating system. 32-bit Microsoft Windows PE V6 ============================== 1. Create a temporary directory (for example, "c:\temp\winpe"). 2. Copy all files from the "PROXGB\Win32\NDIS65\WinPE" directory to the temporary directory. 3. Extract the driver inf file (for example, *ixe6532.inf*) from "PROXGB\Win32\NDIS65\WinPE\*.zip" to the temporary directory. 4. Use the "/Add-Driver" option of the *DISM.exe* tool to import the drivers into the image. For example, use the following command: dism /image:C:\mounted_winpe /Add-Driver /driver:c:\temp\winpe\ixe6532.inf The syntax for the *dism.exe* tool is: dism /image:<%WINPEDIR%> /Add-Driver /driver: Where: * "/image:<%WINPEDIR%>" specifies the path to the directory where you have mounted your Windows PE image. * "/Add-Driver" specifices the action dism should take. * "/driver:" specifies the path to the driver inf file. Please see your Microsoft Windows PE documentation or the Microsoft website for more information on using *dism.exe*. x64 Microsoft Windows PE V6 =========================== 1. Create a temporary directory (for example, "c:\temp\winpe"). 2. Copy all files from the "PROXGB\Winx64\NDIS65" directory to the temporary directory. Do NOT copy the *ixe65x64.inf* file to this directory. 3. Extract the driver inf file (for example, *ixe65x64.inf*)from "PROXGB\Winx64\NDIS62\WinPE\*.zip" to the temporary directory. 4. Use the "/Add-Driver" option of the *DISM.exe* tool to import the drives into the image. For example, use the following command: dism /image:C:\mounted_winpe /Add-Driver /driver:c:\temp\winpe\ixe62x64.inf The syntax for the *dism.exe* tool is: dism /image:<%WINPEDIR%> /Add-Driver /driver: Where: * "/image:<%WINPEDIR%>" specifies the path to the directory where you have mounted your Windows PE image. * "/Add-Driver" specifices the action dism should take. * "/driver:" specifies the path to the driver inf file. Please see your Microsoft Windows PE documentation or the Microsoft website for more information on using *dism.exe*. Known Issues ============ Boot Failure in WinPE for Microsoft* Windows* 10 ------------------------------------------------ Your system may fail to boot under WinPE for Microsoft Windows 10. This can occur during a network install using IPv6. To resolve the issue, modify the "Wait for Link" section of the INF that you insert into the boot image. In the line: HKR, Ndi\Params\WaitAutoNegComplete, default, 0, "2" Change the default, *"2"*(auto detect), to **"1"** (wait for auto negotiation to complete). This section of your INF file should look like the following example: ; Wait for Link HKR, Ndi\Params\WaitAutoNegComplete, ParamDesc, 0, %WaitAutoNegComplete% HKR, Ndi\Params\WaitAutoNegComplete, default, 0, "1" HKR, Ndi\Params\WaitAutoNegComplete\Enum, "0", 0, %Off% HKR, Ndi\Params\WaitAutoNegComplete\Enum, "1", 0, %On% HKR, Ndi\Params\WaitAutoNegComplete\Enum, "2", 0, %AutoDetect% HKR, Ndi\Params\WaitAutoNegComplete, type, 0, "enum" Legal/Disclaimers ================= Copyright (C) 2009-2015, Intel Corporation.
