Installing Updated NetFlex 3 Drivers for Use During Unattended Installation (174529)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q174529 SYMPTOMS
The newest NetFlex 3 cards that ship with some Compaq computers are not
detected during Windows NT setup. The drivers for these cards have the same
name as the drivers for the old NetFlex 3 cards, and also work with the old
NetFlex 3 cards. Replacing the old NetFlex 3 drivers with the new NetFlex 3
drivers in the I386\Drvlib.nic folder does not allow the new drivers to be
loaded for the old cards.
CAUSE
The Netoemdh.inf that ships with Windows NT does not support these new
cards or drivers.
RESOLUTION
Compaq has supplied a new Netoemdh.inf that allows Windows NT to detect and
load the drivers for these new cards, and allows the new drivers to be
loaded for the older NetFlex 3 cards as well. Follow the steps below:
- Delete the existing Netoemdh.in_ file from the I386 folder on the
distribution share.
- Download the new driver files from:
- Replace the files in the I386\Drvlib.nic\Netflex3 folder with the updated
driver files from Compaq.
