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:
- Look at the driver using an
editor.
- 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.
- Get the descriptions from the
Linux PCI ID repository when possible.
- Add comments using ";" as desired -
see the PCIscan distribution for how NDIS.PCI is parsed
(it's a "MAP" file).
- Don't forget to close the quotes - use
findstr /E /V "\"$" ndis.pci
to check trailing quotes.
