Decipher DA driver message
I'm getting an error when trying to use DA on a Sony Vaio PCG-V505BCP laptop (restoring a Dell Optiplex 755 image). The message says:
Device Type: Network Device
PCI ID: PCI\VEN_1260&_DEV_3872&SUBSYS_02021468 & REV_01
Description: Device Description Unavailable
Now, according to Sony the PCG-V505BCP laptop uses a Intel PRO/100 VE NIC and I'm betting it uses a Intel PRO 2200BG wireless driver.
I know sone people will say that using an Image from a Dell Optiplex 755 is the problem, but I have only had problems with a Sony Vaio VGN-BX760 (missing Wireless driver) and a VGN-TX750P ( which reported some other error besides missing driver).
Anyone think of what this might be? Or at least teach me how to figure out what the device is, based on the ID's?
Thanks!

You can use a PCI database such as this one to look it up - first byvendor code and then by device code. Hopefully this information will let you find the right driver which you can then import into the driver database.

that's the wireless card, not in your 755 and apparently not in your driver database, so DA fails. Once you add that driver to your db, you shouldn't have any problems.
Any way to keep DA from looking at and trying to retarget wireless drivers? I would only need LAN and MS drivers retargeted
It's typically not possible to disable wireless NICS in the BIOS so DA always sees them as being present and tries to find a driver for them.
that's a fantastic site you have there btw!
