Imaging - Troubleshooting - E1E5132 Intel Driver Conflict
In making a single-platform image, without the assistance of the cool things in SCCM, (which, by the way, I can't wait to upgrade to) I've come across many driver quirks. But... I've never encountered two drivers, for the same series of NIC's, with the same name, not containing information necessary for the earlier NIC to function.
Enter the E1E5132 driver for the Intel(R) Pro/1000 Gigabit Adapters.
Case:
-
Lenovo 61 series laptops (T-61 and X-61) - Device ID PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1049&SUBSYS_20B917AA
-
Dell Optiplex 755 desktops - Device ID PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10BD&SUBSYS_02111028
-
Drivers provided by each vendor named E1E5132."ext"
-
Lenovo driver does not function in the Dell and vice-versa
Resolution:
-
I renamed the Dell driver files to E1E5132b."ext"
-
Then, I replaced every reference in the .INF file to E1E5132b."ext"
Well.... it was really a stab in the dark, but it worked. Give it a try... if you have a better solution, please comment.
