![]() ![]() The idea is to use the driver packs for slipstreaming Windows installs, or just to keep everything up to date. Luckily, the team at does this for you, collecting thousands of drivers for every conceivable device. ![]() The problem with Intel NIC drivers is that they are bundled in an installer package, so you can't just download a few versions and try them out. And when I built my new media PC with a brand new DH55TC motherboard and onboard Intel Gigagibt NIC, I thought it would surely be supported. For the Intel DX48BT2 board in my main desktop PC, it was a little easier, but still a nuisance. I sorted out the Aspire One problem a while ago, thanks to this post on the Microsoft WHS forums, which pointed me to a suitable generic driver on the Realtek website. What's more, the drivers that WHS automatically extracts from the client PCs and stores with each backup image don't work either (not sure why, although the restore CD is based on Vista, whereas all my PCs are Windows 7), and in the case of the Realtek NIC in my Acer Aspire One netbook, even the correct drivers from Acer don't work due to some sort of bug. ![]() The WinPE-based restore procedure for client PCs doesn't detect the network card on any of my three home PCs, meaning I have to find the driver files and put them on a USB key for WHS to find manually. Windows Home Server is superb, except for one really really annoying aspect. ![]()
