hi
there is a mass storage 706test1 version posted in testing forum, and that one attempts to fix the following

JMICRON JMB36X issues
folder \J\1 is gone, the HWIDs are put in J\2 which has a newer driver.

(Mass storage release 705 has an old AHCI for Gigabyte in there, and after the 705 release this was at first exchanged with an update by Gigabyte.. In this 706test1 testpack this is now gone, for people found two Jmicrons in hardware manager (yellow splats) when GBT driver-version 1.17.17 is used along with files in the existing pack.)

merged ATI-SiL-Image 3112r HWIDs in \S\5 (which is the newer)
\S\5\A gone (silly image clashes with silicate image)

Intel matrix storage drivers and the intel chipset were also looked at.
ICH9 was introduced, and intel dropped support for older than ICH6, and Intel in AHCI mode is an issue at times.
We want to fix that.

These are TEST versions, and we'd like to know wether this solves your issue.

test this on
INTEL, (INTEL in all its modes should be tested along with chipset 706test1.)
JMICRON 36x (test AHCI mode, and raid)
SIL3112r (test AHCI mode, and raid)

chipset706test1

storage706_TEST_3

A word of advice
Once a drive has been used in AHCI mode, and later on you want to use it in a RAID or in IDE mode, you may have to low level format it by using the drive manufactor disktool.

EDIT; mass storage test1 was updated to TEST2

hmmm
I think the fix will be a third folder, and an undo of the edit I did in 7.06.
I immediately saw a cartload of specific subs, and  looking at the registry entries I thought merging this old Dell with the newest broadcom is not going to be possible.

Another check reveals it will have to be a third folder, because the system file is different as well.
I will have to undo the edit in B\1, and add a B\3

if you need a solution pdq, put official broadcom in B\1 (I changed the INF, and the official has to be used)
put the DELL in B\3
undo your INI edit
then repack, and use your custom lanpack.

Hi

the natively supported IDE drivers are not critically important during setup, but we have already included PnP IDE drivers in a test release for a particular driver, and I figure this will be a future trend.
PnP drivers like this just make life easier after setup. More responsive systems can be achieved that way.

Mind you, the chipset DriverPacks will have to be included in your slipstream, for these usually enable the enhanced features of the machine, and chipset drivers often have to be in place for other functions like specific SCI and IDE enhancements, and even for some graphics drivers.

Hi
yesterday, I downloaded these three ATI legacy packs, (and yours, to doublecheck), and scanned the existing releases for Graphics A, B and C against one of the supported HWIDs found in this rage-Pro driver, and I got nada, zip, zero.

This means that our packs do not have this driver. (actually, that the HWID I looked for was not supported)
I wanted to let you know I already did this.
I will hand this over to muiz, tho, for I still have to learn about ATI and CCC, and I do not want to mess this up.

FWIW, it looks like this old driver will have to be in a new folder, unless our newer driver can support the "unsupported" HWIDs.

Hi
Download should work now.
The file just had a wrong name. Sorry.

Ok guys
Lan 7.06 is online, and we want feedback on this broadcom issue.

IF the 10.24.0.0.D version for broadcom57xx is bad for you, we want to know.
We sure would like to know when Broadcom puts up a new version, because I get the feeling we had less reports about failures with the older one. Broadcom will get feedback as well, and can remedy the way they post their driver.
(If you noticed, they do not include system files for 2K in Xp driver, yet reference the 2k system file in it. In our pack, both 2k and XP system files are present, and the driver folder is still incomplete because its INF has a reference to x64.)

One wonders how much bandwidth costs, and how beancounters work.

hi
Your cellphone can be a carrier. (there are wild bluetooth viri around)
Your thumbstick can be a carrier. (they are known to install rootkit infections)
Yesterday I saw a request for a critical Dell update, for WLAN.
I was told (by experts) most home routers have a DMZ which is not really a DMZ.

I Wish the Antivirus makers never threw false positives as much as anybody else, but there will be a false from time to time.
Too bad this affects the tools we use here.

As an aside, are you scanning files during windows SETUP? HUH?

hi

I think it was not online when I updated INTEL, and latest work was focused on BartPE optimization.
Anyway, it gets in now.

you're ON... we know this is likely because catalyst 7.5 had bugs of its own.
I say four days and six minutes, tho.

hi
can you provide a link to this DELL driver for this mobile variant?
(this string PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1677&CC [even with no numbers] has no hits at all here)
a moment ago I added this line in two sections of the driver's INF

%BCM5750A1DMOBILE%  =  BCM5750A1DMOBILE.Inst,  PCI\VEN_14e4&DEV_1677&SUBSYS_01AD1028&REV_01

YOU can do so as well.
paste this "REV_01" line under the followin lines, and it should work.
%BCM5750A1DMOBILE%  =  BCM5750A1DMOBILE.Inst,  PCI\VEN_14e4&DEV_1677&SUBSYS_01AD1028

then repack with 7zip, and give this a higher version number (7052 would be good)

I'd still like to have a look at DELL's driver.

Have you kept a copy of LAN 7.04?
Remember to keep copies of packs that work..

Hi
Thanks for the report.
