1. Mount the base image by using the DISM tool to a local Windows PE directory. For example:
Dism /Mount-WIM /WimFile:c:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim /index:1 /MountDir:c:\winpe_x86\mount
NOTE: The directory structure c:\winpe_x86 is used throughout this procedure.
2. Add the .inf file to the base image by using the dism command with the /Add-Driver option. For example Driver.inf is
the Broadcom driver, evnd.inf is the driver for the 10 Gbps devices, and b06nd.inf is the driver for the 1 Gbps devices.
Dism /image:

Configuring the Speed/Duplex Setting for the NetXtreme I Monolithic
Driver
Since the typical environment where the NetXtreme I monolithic driver is used does not provide the means to configure
advanced network adapter properties, the driver file (b06nd.inf) was modified to include a section that allows it to be
configured for a specific speed and/or duplex. This provides a more robust connection to the network as it allows the adapter
to match the settings of its link partner (e.g., a switch, router, etc.).
To manually configure the speed and duplex
1. Open the b06nd.inf file with a text editor like Microsoft Notepad or WordPad.
2. Perform a search on the file for "Registry parameters" to locate the section that will allow you to configure the adapter
speed/duplex.
3. Once located, notice the following information shown.
