NDIS2 drivers for use with Bart's Modboot framework

I've packaged the following drivers for the Bart's network boot disks. Feel free to use these if you're using a newer computer and are not willing to move to another platform.

b44.cab
Broadcom 440x 10/100 Ethernet NDIS2 Driver v3.07 (041123)
b57.cab
Broadcom Ethernet NDIS2 Driver v11.4.2 (2008-09-12)
e1000.cab
Intel PRO/1000 Network Driver v11.1 (2006-08-25)
n100.cab
Compaq/HP Fast Ethernet NDIS 2 NIC Drivers v4.56 (032404)
rtgbnd.cab
Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family PCI Fast Ethernet v1.04 2005-05-19
yuknd.cab
Marvell Yukon GigE 7.05 (040615)

A note on dates: while normally I'm an ISO 8601 person, I've left some of the dates above in the OEM's order. Check the version number.

Some tips on generating the NDIS.PCI file:

  1. Look at the driver using an editor.
  2. Search for the device IDs in little endian order (e.g. instead of 8086h for Intel's vendor ID, seek 86 80). The device IDs list may be easier to read in the editor than downloading a huge Win32 driver and parsing the INFs. It's certainly more accurate/current/complete.
  3. Get the descriptions from the Linux PCI ID repository when possible.
  4. Add comments using ";" as desired - see the PCIscan distribution for how NDIS.PCI is parsed (it's a "MAP" file).
  5. Don't forget to close the quotes - use
    findstr /E /V "\"$" ndis.pci
    to check trailing quotes.
