build problem

[Wolfgang]

Hi All,
I am working with a system that has an intel 865glc motherboard and an
intel(r) pro/100 VE network connection. I am unable to build a
component using the inf file.
I have tried using the sld file graciously provided by Brad Combs on
the xpefiles.com website. Target designer does not find the device
when I run a pmq import. It gives me "Could not find a driver for
Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection
(PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1050&SUBSYS_303A8086&REV_01)".
Even after manually adding the device and loading the build, device
manager on my target system does not have the correct files for the
driver components in the network adaptor.
Any ideas how I might proceed? Is there a fix for the inf file
parsing problem? How could I change the sld file to have target
designer recognize the device from pmq?
Thank you for your help!
Wolfgang

You can rely on PnP to do the job for you.
You don't need to import inf file, you only need component that will copy
driver files to their destination folders.

This way one inf will support not only card you need, but all other adapters
as well.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand. How would I get the necessary data
without using an inf file? Where would I look on how to do that?
Thank you.

I just simply wanted to say that when you create component for network
drivers you can skip importing inf file.
Instead you can create component manually that will copy inf, dll, sys files
to %17%, %11%, 12% folders accordingly.

During PnP FBA phase XPe will detect new hardware and it will find and use
inf file for installing drivers automatically.

This way you will have component that support all Intel network adapters
described in your inf file.
