I try patched driver in MiniXP HBCD14 but not working . I added the driver to HBCD\XP\Drivers directory but after boot PE Network not detect any WLAN card :-(. In Device manager only LAN card.

 

This means that start Wifi depend also from type Windows PE - BartPE, HBCD, LiveXP (WinBuilder) etc. The Wifi driver works differently in different WinPE OS's.

 

This is very dependent!

[reboot12]

I found very interesting thing. I try make Wifi TP-LINK WN-551G autoboot in two WinPE: MiniXP HBCD14 & LiveXP Project LX.061412. In both cases need make path driver net5211.inf but differently for each OS:

 

HBCD14 net5211.inf need delete or comment lines (in two section [ATHER_DEV_001A.ndi.NT] & [ATHER_DEV_1052.ndi.NT]):

; DelFiles
; DelReg

LiveXP net5211.inf need delete or comment lines (probably also for two section but DriverPack WLAN make patch for all section):

; CopyFiles
; DelFiles

Additionally need use PENetwork.ini like this.

 

Now autoboot Wifi working in both HBCD14 and LiveXP OS's

So this is then the final final?

[Holger]

Bravo, thank you very much  
Everything seems to work fine here in my environment  
 
I just have a small concern with the profile editor and with the parameter/ini= or the following registry keys:
 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PENetwork\Editor]
"LastFile"="C:\\PENetwork\\MyPENetwork.ini"
"OpenLastFile"=dword:00000000   (Editor > options > preferences > Automatically open lastconfig file on startup)

If the keys above are not specified,
from Penetwork launched with, for example : "PENetwork.exe /ini=C:\PENetwork\MyPENetwork.ini /profile=MyProfile",
if I call then the  editor, MyPENetwork.ini is not loaded, it's OK with the external editor.
 
Also "PENetwork.exe /profileeditor /ini=C:\PENetwork\MyPENetwork.ini" does not work (cmdline or for PENetwork script)
The profile editor works if I fill out the 2 registry keys previously, but not then, if I change the config file in Penetwork.exe.

Hi Chris, thanks for feedback

Yes, the '/ini' option doesn't work at the moment for the profile editor, it's just not implemented.

Here you need still the old way: penetwork.exe /profileeditor c:\penetwork\mypenetwork.ini

to open a file directly with the editor.

BTW. you need to set the option "OpenLastFile" to 0x1 to open the last file.

/ini /profile are at the moment only for using PENM, not  the editor.

But I will set it to my 'todo' list.

Hi Holger

 

Thank you for explaining, I saw the new setting on your FAQs and I thought (wrong) that it was also for the editor.
The new settings are only for PE Network Manager and it is fine like this, no problem.
The new interface for PENetwork editor is really well and more friendly than before, I like

 

Thanks for All,

Hi,

 

I'm using PENetwork as part of  WinPE7_SE environment. Would it be possible to add some sort of hardware MAC recognition, so that an adapter configuration gets assigned a to specific nic?

Hi,

I did some short tests with some original PE's (3.0, 4.0 and 5.0) and can say it should be possible.

So planned for coming beta in a few weeks.

hi.. may i know how to update the latest version in a penetwork script in Livexp..?

i tried to replace the files with latest version it does not work properly especially adding other drivers in penetwork-drivers folder...THX

[al_jo]

@bee4u

Holgers PENetwork 0.58.1 is now included in this livexp project:

http://aljo.comeze.c...xp/livexp2.html

Not tested “add drivers from this directory” but using “Driver Import” instead while running the PE.

[bee4u]

THX  al_jo..    i will check it ...BTW how you update it in the penetwork script..?

[bee4u]

v0.58.1 didn't work  no drivers are copied  by penetwork-drivers folder. i even checked v0.57.2  same thing only working is v.056.

 i tested with my lan driver Realtek RTL8139/810x/8169 , files are NETRTOEM.cat,oem2.ini and Rtlnicxp.sys

i have copied all these files into %GlobalTemplates%\PENetwork_drivers folder , it didnt work script not coping these files in system32 folder of xp.

it works in v.056 only.

I checked with my audio driver files it worked in all version..but not lan driver

[al_jo]

@bee4u

Sorry, don’t know why your Lan drivers was not inserted. Locked in some way?

As already said, no problems here adding Lan/Wlan

drivers but made a very small driver guide here:

http://al-jo.net46.n.../driversxp.html

that might help some other users inserting Lan/Wlan drivers in the LiveXP PE.

Hello,

 

please do the following cause there was a change in the driver copying routine:

In your %temp% folder you should find a file "PENMDrvCpy.txt" -> please check it or post it here.

Please open the file "oem2.inf" and post the section "Manufactor" here, like:

[Manufacturer]
%Intel%     = Intel, NTx86

 

There is an internal check if the driver files arre correct for the target OS.

 

Thanks and greets

Holger

@ Holger  

 

In your %temp% folder you should find a file "PENMDrvCpy.txt"

  i dont have a file "PENMDrvCpy.txt  in temp folder

 

"oem2.inf" and post the section "Manufactor"

its this  [Manufacturer]
%Realtek%   = Realtek, NT.5.1, NTamd64    THX

[Holger]

@ Holger  

  i dont have a file "PENMDrvCpy.txt  in temp folder

its this  [Manufacturer]
%Realtek%   = Realtek, NT.5.1, NTamd64    THX

That confuses me a little bit...

Try with Start -> Run -> %temp%\PENMDrvCpy.txt

 

So I need some additional info.

From what source OS you are building your  PE (XP - 32 or 64bit)?

And what I also need is a ZIP of your drivers files and the WinBuilder - Log.html if you have one.

The I will try to reproduce the problem.

 

Thanks and greets

Holger

[bee4u]

Source xp pro sp2 32bit. v0.58.1 only copies audio driver no lan. no vga or other but v.056.  copies all mentioned drivers.

Log and Lan driver and PENMDrvCpy.txt  files are attached..THX
