Hi,

I am using PENetwork script v37rev12 with WinBuilder 0.80 and WinXP Pro SP3 as a source.
I have added Realtek LAN and Dell WLAN drivers to the custom drivers folder. The WLANAPI hotfix has been added to.
Everything builds with no problems.

When I boot my Dell laptop, networking services start. However PENetwork shows no adapters in the drop down. Checking in Devices shows both adapters installed and reported to be working correctly. PENetwork WiFi tab reports that there are no WiFi capable adapters present. Windows Wireless Zero Config service reported as started by WiFi tab.

Any ideas or help appreciated.

Regards,
niche99

Hi niche99,

Everybody waiting next release of Penetwork :D by The Great Holger which would eventually make things work with next release.

Well I do not have WiFi device, I am pretty old school on such things :)

As far as I remember through topics, when one try hard to make wifi work, at last succees (since everything ready on pe side :D)
I guess preparing penetwork profile might help
Also using Pedialup might help too.
check some last post series of PeNetwork topic and some other topics around..

Let us know how it goes :)

Hi,

Maybe an admin could move this post to the PENetwork topic you mentioned http://www.boot-land...?...=976&st=400.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have an Usb Wlan adapter with the chip: Realtek RTL8188SU
I’m enabling these scripts:
PEnetwork, AccessGainDrivers, DriverImportPE, PEDialup and Hwpnp.
While running the PE, I start DriverImportPE, choose the “System On HDD” (can also choose a *.inf folder anywhere), choose my Realtek driver.
After the “import” is done, I start PEnetwork and all is working just fine :D

@al_jo
PEnetwork, AccessGainDrivers, DriverImportPE, PEDialup and Hwpnp.
Are they all needed... like... no excpetion?
Becouse i dont use PEDialup nor AccessGainDrivers (bc all my drivers are in a folder "Drivers" in my cd root).

Thing is... i can't make it work, and i don't want to use AccessGain to load the driver from the OS.
I want it to load wifi like for lots of diferents notebooks.... but it is not working.
I use the zPnp thing with a folder named "Drivers" in the root of my cd wich contain a drivers.wim file packed up with LAN and WLAN drivers from DP.net.

I use penetwork, and in desktops, it works fine.... my problem is really the wifi situation.

Any advices?

Sorry, but Zpnp is not my “table”. Why not contact the “maker”?

I can only recommend the DriverImportPE script as it works for me.

Ps. You don’t have to choose the Dialup and Accessgain scripts!
