Hi

I have a notebook that uses a Broadcom 570x Gigabit network card. I've
added the driver to my OemPnPDriversPath..


OemPnPDriversPath =
"Drivers\000_chipset\IntelMobile;Drivers\001_network\b57;.... rest removed."


.... and the network card is active and working when the installation is
finished. But I need network access when CMDLINES is about to run.
Windows is complaining that the network card isn't started yet (or not
available). Note that this is working if the driver is build in to
Windows XP, but not otherwise.

- Regards, Egil.

Hmm it looks like I'm not the only one having this problem:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=uoa968HQBHA.1348@tkmsftngp05&rnum=1

Is it "simply" a matter of starting the right service(s), and in that
case, which.

OK I've done some more testing. I asked CMDLINES to start cmd.exe up,
and from there I tried to manually mount a network drive. It then tells
me that the Workstation service isn't running. I then check
services.msc, and to my surprise, the workstation service was actually
running. I tried restarting it, but I still receive the same error from
net use. Help :)

Dooooooh, it seems that MS forgot a entry in the Hivesys.inf. Anybody
with the same problem should read this KB:
