TITLE   :Unattended Installation of Windows NT Does Not Autodetect 3C905.
PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT
PROD/VER:winnt:4.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you perform an unattended installation of Microsoft Windows NT Workstation
4.0, Setup may not automatically detect the 3C905 Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) network adapter, and may therefore not install it.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur because the Oemsetup.inf file included with the network
adapter does not have the appropriate settings for an unattended installation.
You must modify the file before you begin the unattended installation.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this issue, modify the Oemsetup.inf file:

1. Before you modify the file, make a backup copy of the original Oemsetup.inf
   file supplied by the OEM.

2. Modify the original Oemsetup.inf file as follows:

     Original Oemsetup.inf:   [InstallOptions]
     Install_dRMON = ''YES''
     Install_3NIC_Diag = ''YES''
     Install_PACE = ''YES''
     Install_Shortcuts = ''YES''

     Replace with:
     [InstallOptions]
     Install_dRMON = ''NO''
     Install_3NIC_Diag = ''NO''
     Install_PACE = ''NO''
     Install_Shortcuts = ''NO''

     Original Oemsetup.inf:
     [Options]
     3C90X 
     3C905 
     3C900 

     Replace with:
     [Options] 
     3C905 

     Original Oemsetup.inf:
     Debug-Output $(InfName)''Adding files: Files-$(NDIS_VER),
     SrcDir=$(SrcDir)''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-$(NDIS_VER)
     $(SrcDir)WIN32\$(!STF_PLATFORM)     $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)\drivers
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Replace with:
     Debug-Output $(InfName)''Adding files: Files-$(NDIS_VER), SrcDir=$(SrcDir)''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-$(NDIS_VER) $(SrcDir) $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Original Oemsetup.inf:
     set STF_OVERWRITE = ''VERIFYSOURCEOLDER''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-Uninstaller $(SrcDir)win32 $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Replace with:
     set STF_OVERWRITE = ''VERIFYSOURCEOLDER''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-Uninstaller $(SrcDir) $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Original Oemsetup.inf:
     set STF_OVERWRITE = ''VERIFYSOURCEOLDER''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-3nicdiag $(SrcDir)win32 $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-HwDll $(SrcDir)WINNT $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Replace with:
     set STF_OVERWRITE = ''VERIFYSOURCEOLDER''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-3nicdiag $(SrcDir) $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-HwDll $(SrcDir) $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Original Oemsetup.inf:
     set STF_OVERWRITE = ''VERIFYSOURCEOLDER''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-PACE $(SrcDir)win32 $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Replace with:
     set STF_OVERWRITE = ''VERIFYSOURCEOLDER''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-PACE $(SrcDir) $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Original Oemsetup.inf:
     set STF_OVERWRITE = ''VERIFYSOURCEOLDER''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-Tray $(SrcDir)win32 $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Replace with:
     set STF_OVERWRITE = ''VERIFYSOURCEOLDER''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-Tray $(SrcDir) $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Original Oemsetup.inf:
     set STF_OVERWRITE = ''VERIFYSOURCEOLDER''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-dRMON $(SrcDir)drmon $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-dRMONINF $(SrcDir)WINNT $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Replace with:
     set STF_OVERWRITE = ''VERIFYSOURCEOLDER''
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-dRMON $(SrcDir) $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     AddSectionFilesToCopyList Files-dRMONINF $(SrcDir) $(!STF_WINDOWSSYSPATH)
     set !STF_NCPA_FLUSH_COPYLIST = TRUE

     Original Oemsetup.inf:
     [OptionsTextENG]
     3C90X = ''3Com Fast EtherLink/Etherlink XL PCI Busmaster NIC''

     Replace with:
     [OptionsTextENG]
     3C905 = ''3Com Fast EtherLink/Etherlink XL PCI Busmaster NIC''

3. After you modify the Oemsetup.inf file, perform the unattended installation
   of Windows NT Workstation 4.0.
