RIS with VIA VIA Rhine III VT6105M

[Martin H]

Hi, I want to use RIS with our new laptops.
They have a built-in VIA network.
The PXE works great but after I log in to the RIS server the installation
stops.
It say the nesecery network driver are missing.
Does someone now how to do this for the VIA card?
I have put the driver files under \$oem$\$1\.... and direct to the map in
the .sif file...
Can I do any thing else? What files do I need to put there?

Please let me know if you know any thing about this!
/Martin

1. On the RIS server, copy the OEM-supplied .inf and .sys file for the
network adapter to the
RemoteInstall\Setup\<Language>\Images\<Dir_name>\i386 folder. This
allows Setup to use the driver during the Text-mode portion of the
installation.

I did not work for me...
Is it the winXP driver or DOS driver I need for the Text-mode?
Should I put them in i386 or in the $oem$\.... map?
