Re: [Unattended] Broadcom driver and Dell D620
Maybe a stupid question, but do you use the Dell chipset drivers or the original Intel ones? The Dell chipset drivers usually do not contain the INF files, so unattended install is not possible with these ones.

RE: [Unattended] Broadcom driver and Dell D620
Hi, I use all Dell equipment in my environment and have been using unattended for years (~3) and always use the chipset drives from Dell. They do contain the INF files. You have to run the installer for the chipset driver from the command line with a flag (I think it is -a, but don't quote me). It will look like it is installing the chipset drivers on the current machine but it is actually just extracting them to a directory of your choice. Read the readme.txt that comes with the drivers and details how to do all this.

RE: [Unattended] Broadcom driver and Dell D620
Hiya, Hi, I've been trying to integrate the lan drivers (Broadcom b57 NetExtreme) for the new Dell D620 laptops for three days, but to no avail. Hmm. I'm writing this from my unattended D620... What we usually do when we get in a new Dell model in is boot it off the network then take the distributed drivers directory off on a usb key and use some of that in our unattended dir. We have a directory os\xp2\I386\$oem$\$1\x\1nb57xx which we pulled off the stock setup before we nuked them. Regards, Mark. This e-mail message may contain confidential or privileged information.

Re: [Unattended] Broadcom driver and Dell D620
Do you install the chipset before the Broadcom drivers? I had this problem with several Latitude D series. I circumvented it by keeping this directory structure for my drivers: $oem$ | -$1 | -drv | -d620 | -000 --- chipset directory | -001 --- network driver | -002 --- next driver and so on HTH, Kaari Thibaut Mauger schrieb: Hi, I've been trying to integrate the lan drivers (Broadcom b57 NetExtreme) for the new Dell D620 laptops for three days, but to no avail. I've tried different combinations of drivers but the result is always the same : somehow the nic gets detected during Windows install, but does not complete (I've no error message for joining my domain). At first boot unattended cannot map Z:, and I've a pop up message that my card is detected. While unattended keeps trying to map, the drivers finishes to install and eventually unattended maps correctly. The trick is that the computer is not on the domain, rendering some parts of the corporate install impossible :-( Any ideas ? Thanks in advance, tibo. --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
