It's really weird, as smbmount seems to wait for a timeout before

(smbfs 2.2-8), and from win2K, and there was no problem, mounting ro
or rw. Maybe a name resolution problem ? I tried
//172.16.1.100/install, //serv-micro/install but it is the same. DHCP
is passing DNS and WINS servers. My samba server is using LDAP for
authentification, but i can't see how this may be a problem, as it
is server's job to authentify, and the client is not involved. I'm
going to investigate furthermore...



Thanks. I look forward to finding out what you learn.


I will try manual mounting from the pronpt on the unattended CDROM, and investigate with tcpdump what happens exactly.



Another point : We are planning in our school to deploy large scale
100MBs WIFI (USR5416) . But unfortunately, the only way to use it
under linux is Linuxant driver loader. Do you think that it may be
used in linux boot CD ? ( just matter of programming, or major
design changes?).



You want to deploy Windows via the WIFI?


This will be tricky for a couple of reasons.  Even under Windows, I am
not sure how to set the wireless parameters (SSID, WEP keys, etc.) in
unattend.txt.

I'm going to contact directly the guys from USR to see how to do that.

And without that, installing the applications will be
tricky.


These AP/adapters seems to be really fast ! we already try to run a ghost server on a notebook connected with 100Mb wifi and noticed no significant differences with or without wires !

Getting the boot disk to work should not be too hard.

The problem is linuxant, as it seems to be a very dirty (and proprietary) trick to load winxp modules in kernel...

We would need a
way to let you specify extra modules to load at boot time, but we
really need to do that anyway eventually...

But it's the Windows part of the install I am wondering about.



Ok, I'm going to try this frst.
