Hi All, We've just recieved some new Toshiba A11 Laptops, and they're the first ones that I've been unable to get network support in WinPE working for. I've tried the drivers from both Intel & Toshiba with no joy. I've imported them into the boot image and check via F8 using ipconfig with no success. The boot images are 6.1.7600.16385 (SCCM SP2), which correct me if I'm wrong, are Win7 based so I've been using the Win7 drivers. For the x64 boot image this means I've used the e1k62x64.INF from the NDIS62 folder. This gives me the Intel(R) 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection in SCCM with applicability to the following drivers with the one in bold the one the device uses. Intel(R) 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection Intel(R) 82567LF-3 Gigabit Network Connection Intel(R) 82567V-4 Gigabit Network Connection Intel(R) 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection Intel(R) 82577LC Gigabit Network Connection Intel(R) 82578DM Gigabit Network Connection Intel(R) 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection SCCM says the driver is supported on: All x64 Windows 7, All x64 Windows Server 2008 R2, x64 Windows 7, x64 Windows Server 2008 R2 Has anyone either come across this driver, or the Toshiba A11's as I've spent two days so far trying to get this working with different combinations of drivers and both Vista & Win7 versions. Thanks in advance, SBhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-067.mspx If you don't ever patch anything, for god sake make sure this patch is on.......

Ignore me... I've just tried the Drivers from the Toshiba support site (again I think :S) and it works. Available on the below URL incase anyone else runs into the problem. I might dig a bit deeper into why Intel's drivers don't work, I'll post back if I do. Biggest difference is Intel's is 04/12/2010,11.6.92.0 and Toshiba's is 09/23/2009,11.2.19.0 http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=UK&selCategory=2&selFamily=5&selSeries=155&selProduct=1134&selShortMod=963&language=13&selOS=30&selType=22&yearupload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=allMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=8&selectedLanguage=13&type=22&page=1&ID=72508&OSID=30&driverLanguage=42 Thanks anyway, SBhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-067.mspx If you don't ever patch anything, for god sake make sure this patch is on.......

I am having this same problem with new Toshiba M780 tablet. I brought up the INF of the 15.4.1 Intel drivers and the Toshiba 14.6 (I think) drivers. I highlighted the differences below. Not sure what they do so I don't know if it will affect it or not. The driver is of course different so it could be that as well.

One other deailt I just determined was that the Intel 15.1.1 drivers work but the 15.2 drivers don't. Whatever happened changed in between those two versions. Hopefully this will help others troubleshooting this issue. Also I hope Intel fixes the drivers soon.

How bizzare, thanks for letting us know. If I ever get time I'll have another look at the INF's to see if I can spot anything as well. Cheers, SBMy System Center Blog

I'm in sort of the same boat: I'm trying to set up a new batch of Sony Vaio VPCZ12XPE (= Z12), which is claimed to have the Intel(R) 82577LC Gigabit Network Connection, but nor the Sony driver which was in the preinstalled Windows 7, nor the Intel driver (used 15.1.1, 15.2 and 15.5) which I all added to the PXE bootimage, let me install this puppy from the network. Does anyone else have a workaround, becuase I am in no way installing these manually. No way.

I looked at the 15.5 drivers and they are still the same drivers and inf (for this adapter) as the ones since 15.2. Make sure when making your PXE Image to remove anything newer than the 15.1.1 drivers or it will use the newest ones. I had to make sure only the 15.1.1 drivers were listed and not the newer ones to get it working. Hopefully Intel will get around to fixing these drivers.

Hi there guys, I'm having this issue with the Intel(R) 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection. I have tried ALL the versions referenced above with no luck. Did anyone had luck finding a workaround for this issue?

I missed checking the 15.6 drivers but looking at the INF they didn't seem changed. 15.7 however seems to have fixed this problem. I yanked out all the 14.x and 15.1 drivers and only loaded 15.7 into MDT and I was able to boot the install image successfully. Just wanted to let others know in case they were still seeing this problem.

Just searching on something similar - this helped me: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979492 Error: Failed to import the following drivers: <Driver file> The selected driver is not applicable to any supported platforms. etc
