For me it doesn’t seem to be a timing issue.  It doesn’t detect the adapter at 
all.  I have to unplug and plug it back in (sometimes several times) before I 
can see the network adapter show up after a reboot.

It could be the same issue, we did not see it on our Windows 8 image though. 
Its easy to test, build a machine, after it completes the setup windows and 
configmgr step and reboots into Windows, hit F8 and see if you get an IP. Wait 
2-3 minutes and check again if you don’t.

The issue is the NIC doesn’t initialize in time after that first reboot into 
Windows.

Known issue on the Yoga. Happens on the ThinkPad adapter too. Only happens on 
win7 not win8.

We have a ticket open with Lenovo on it. There is a TechNet thread on it too.

Months ago I purchased a Startech USB-to-Ethernet dongle because people were 
saying it worked well for imaging.  Driver is inbox and just works with WinPE.  
I successfully imaged a Dell Venue tablet without any issues and thought I’d be 
able to use it on our Thinkpad Yoga’s when we got them in.  Well they’re in and 
while it works ok at the start of the deployment it seems to lose it when you 
reboot.  The deployment gets stuck saying it can’t connect to deployment share 
after the first reboot.  Thoughts?
