Does anyone know how to get the USB NIC working in a windows PE environment?
I need to utilize DISM to add the NIC driver to the Win7 PE image. I utilize this so I can boot into a PE environment and use images stored on my network to image the device.
The problem is that in order to use DISM you must import the raw drivers into the PE image. You can't run the .exe installer to just install the drivers.
Anyone have any work arounds for this problem?
PS -- trying to image a new Lenovo Yoga using a Lenovo USB 2.0 port replicator. The old Thinkpad twists had a NIC card built onto the thinkpad, but the new Yoga's don't. That forces me to utilize the port replicator to image these things. I guess my next step is a cheap USB ethernet adaptor that I can get real drivers for.
