Hi all,

I've tried to build a hardware independent Windows 7 x64 image using Altiris 6.9 sp4, Winpe 2.1 and Deploy Anywhere. Deploying to some of our HP DC7800 and DC7900 workstations works fine so nothing wrong with our setup or image. The workstations are deployed completely automatically and put in our domain. However...

When deploying this image to a Lenovo T510 notebook the Windows 7 setup finally boots to production but has no Network interfaces, at that point the pc cannot be put in our domain and the following jobs from Altiris cannot take place.

I found some other people on the forums having problems with the T410 (same NIC) but their solutions don't seem to work for us.

I added the Intel 82577LM network drivers for all Windows and OS bit versions to Deploy Anywhere and that seems to have worked. At first we noticed 2 missing drivers, LAN and WLAN. But now, when running:

  ghdplyAw32.exe /target=c:\Windows /ddb=\DriversDB /eval  

 I get the following output in ghDplyAw32.txt 

 Missing driver detected :  type =  NETWORK DEVICE  PCI ID = PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4238&SUBSYS_11118086&REV_35  Desc = @system32\drivers\pci.sys,#640;Network Controller 

This missing driver is the WLAN driver. I don't really care about that one because I only want Deploy Anywhere to use the LAN driver for deployment.

What should i do to get a working network connection in Windows after deployment? Deploy Anywhere has got it but it's not being inserted into the notebook.
