SX280, RIS - OEM drivers won't work
Using Windows 2003 RIS, I added the NIC driver to the I386 folder, modified the INF file as needed, and the SX280 will connect to RIS, downloads and installs the image, but after it's completed, the network drivers I put in the $oem$\$1\Drv\Nic are not loaded, so the machine can't connect to the network until I install drivers with the Resource CD.
Note: I've got SX270s that work just fine, loading the OEM nic, video, and audio drivers automatically. And the SX280 is receiving the image just fine, and the preinstalled software works just fine. If I can just figure out this driver problem.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

At the same level as the i386 folder of the RIS image, create a $oem$\$1\Drivers\Nic folder structure
Extract the win_xp_2k3_32-7.80.zip package to a temporary location, create a subfolder named updated_inf and copy the win_xp_2k3_32\b57win32.inf to that folder. Then open the win_xp_2k3_32\updated_inf\b57win32.inf file in Notepad
Change the following information in the updated_inf\b57win32.inf file.
%BRCM% = Broadcom, NTx86.5.1
to
[Manufacturer]
%BRCM% = Broadcom
Copy the following file from win_xp_2k3_32 to i386 (Replace existing files)
Copy the following file from win_xp_2k3_32\updated_inf to i386 (Replace existing files)
Copy the following files from win_xp_2k3_32 to $oem$\$1\ Drivers\Nic
b57win32.inf
b57win32.cat
**************************************************
** ABOVE INF FILE IS THE ORIGINAL ONE **
**************************************************
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnpDriversPath = \Drivers\Nic
Delete all .pnf-files from the i386 folder
Restart the Remote Installation (BINLSVC) Service
Test the client
