Install CiscoEapFast Module
I need to install the CiscoEapFast module during OSD on Win 7 x64. I have the CiscoEapFast.inf and necessary files from the Microsoft site. Although the OSD process copies the drivers to the machine, it doesn't look like it installs completely. If I go to device manager and select Add legacy hardware and point to the driver, the "ECPNode" is installed. Is there anyway to replicate this during OSD? Thank You

Because it doesn't correspond to a plug and play device, I don't think Windows will ever install this driver automatically. You should be able to script its install though using DevCon (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272) or DPInst (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff544775(v=vs.85).aspx).Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com | Twitter @JasonSandys

Wondering if someone can help me with this. Tried devcon intsall ciscoeapfast.inf ECPNODE. It fails.

CMD line doesn't work either. Offcourse the Add Legacy Hardware option works without any issues. Thanks

We need this to connect to our internal wireless network. Usually it gets installed when we install wireless utilities (dell, intel). Going with windows 7, we want to use the native windows wireless utility rather than installing the manufacturer provided one. The EAP-FAST module can be downloaded from http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=%20ECPNode There is no setup for this. EDIT: If I create the registry entry mentioned in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/eapteam/archive/2008/10/17/how-do-i-install-cisco-eap-fast-on-my-computer.aspx, wait 5 minutes for the ECPNODE to be created, then do a DPInst64.exe /s, it seems to work (at least I think it's working :-). Is there anyway to avoid this 5 minute wait?

Sorry, you've gone past my experience now :-( There's an e-mail form on that blog though, so I recommend e-mailing them (even though they haven't updated it in 3 years) and maybe they'll get back to you.Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com | Twitter @JasonSandys

Thanks, I was able to get it installed by first running the .reg key and used dpinst64 later in the TS. dpinst64 gave me a error code of 256, but it gets installed anyway. So I added 256 to the list of success codes. Thanks again.
