I can't follow you - I have placed all the driver files for the NIC,
as well as all the other drivers for my computers solely in
\i386\$OEM$\$1\drv\gx520\nnn where nnn is a folder starting at 000 up
to 003. 000 contains the chipset drivers, 001 contains NIC, 002 contains
Intel Graphics, 003 contains sound drivers.
What are you placing there, the .exe files or the files that get
extracted? Send a directory listing of each of these.
I have placed the extracted files in there. I just run the Dell setup
and after extraction I copy the created folder to the
$oem$\$1\drv\gx520\nnn folder.
Tricky part are the Intel chipset drivers, the package from Dell doesn't
include the *.inf files, so in that case I got the full version from the
Intel website and used theirs instead.
I can send you a directory listing on monday when I'm back at my desk,
otherwise - download a driver from Dell, doubleclick it, choose a folder
for extraction, click ok then cancel the upcoming installation. Go to
the folder you specified for extraction (usually c:\dell\Rxxxxxx), copy
the contents. That's it.
So what's the point in placing the driver in two different locations?
I don't know it's just the way that Intel wants it, check out the
readme. I think maybe they do it that way so that the chipset driver
will always be installed first. If the chipset driver is not getting
installed, the NIC driver will not be able to be installed either.
Right, if the chipset driver borks everything else is fuxored. Never had
that problem since I switched to the "nnn" naming convention.
