Hello,

I just received a new computer and i tried to install its lan driver via the DP_Lan 11.01 and the lan card did not work.
Its PNP device instance id was : PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_84321043&REV_06.
I checked the realtek driver in the drive pack (folder R4-version 5.770) and indeed it did not contain an entry for this card (There was a generic entry for the DEV_8168 but the driver did not work).

I checked the realtek site and found a version of the driver(version 5.786), i used it and it worked.
The url to the driver is:
http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downlo … Down=false

I think you should include this driver in your next DriverPack.

P.S i was not sure how to add a link the proper way so i posted the url as text. (how do you post a link?)

I have a computer with an Ethernet card with the following Device Instance Id PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_1026&SUBSYS_83041043&REV_B0\4&38D2602C&0&00E1

I made an installation of windows with the Lan DriverPack (10.11.1) and during the PnP, windows installed the driver that is located in the D1 folder of the Driverpack(netdlfet.inf).
This driver did not work(the device manager showed the little yellow exclamation mark) but i discovered that in the DriverPack there is another driver that should work with my network card (located in the V1 folder-FETNDIS.inf).
I manually installed this driver by right clicking the Ethernet card in the device manager and choosing update driver(there i supplied the full path to the V1 folder). This driver did work.

My questions are:
1. Is it common that 2 infs from different manufacturers support the same device instance id, and if an inf claims to support a certain device instance id shouldn't that driver work?
2. Also is there a possibility that to different Ethernet cards (from different manufacturers) have the same device instance id or is this unique?
3. Is there a way to configure windows to keep searching for other compatible drivers after it tries to install a driver and fails?

Thank you
