Precision 7510 Network Driver WDS
I have a new Precision 7510 that I am trying to image using WDS. I have downloaded the latest driver pack 7510-win7-A00-N1PXX.cab (Win 7 x64) and imported the driver files onto our WDS sever.
I was unable to get the laptop to image. Error missing network driver. Booting the factory image I determined the nic to be - Intel® Ethernet Connection I219-LM but was unable to find the driver on the Dell or Intel site.
Using a Intel® Ethernet Connection I218-LM driver I was able to get the image process to start but now it fails upon first boot. The error - cannot contact \\wds.... network driver missing once the laptop logs in. Multiple drivers are missing so I believe there is an issue with the driver pack.
Any help appreciated.
I actually was able to get by this issue. In bios - Boot Sequence - Boot List Option I changed the setting from UEFI to Legacy. This got me by the booting up issue. There are still multiple drivers missing but at least I can finish the image and deploy the device.

I could never get it to work on WDS. Using the boot.wim from win7 I was able to get to where you can choose the image (never would even get that far using a win81 or win10 boot.wim), but sadly it would then fail to pick up the storage driver. I tried everything, from injecting the latest PE cabs into PE, to loading every driver known to man on the wim and no luck.
The only way I have gotten a 7510 to image is through MDT. You are correct the nic is the l219-LM from Intel. For MDT I used the new driver packs (Dell going away from cabs)from this site :
and the nic driver pack straight from intel:
Even though the l219-lm inst listed, the driver for it is in these packs.
At any rate this has been by far and away the most difficult laptop I have ever tried to image. Dell really needs to look into this. What a PITA.

having simular issues with the i219-lm ... when succesfully PXE booting to these imaging servers I get this:
WDS PXE boot:

Did you remember to update the distro after adding the drivers?

Seems like I am having the same issue. I'll report back if I find a fix.
