I'd like to report that I tested the LAN drivers testpack using a slipstream installation disk created using nLite and DriverPacks BASE and it worked perfectly on my device, an "Attansic/Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T".

Hi Jaak,

apparently I forgot to subscribe to this post. I think it would be nice to have two options in the forum preferences like:
* automatically subscribe to the topics I start;
* automatically subscribe to the topics in which I post a message.

Anyway, thanks for your answer smile So I will try using those other testpacks too and will tell you how it went...

Will these drivers ever be included in the pack?

Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
   Chipset INF Update Utility - v8.3.1.1009
   Graphics Media Accelerator Driver - v14.33.1
   RAID-AHCI Matrix Storage Manager - v7.8.0.1012

How can I create a "mini"-DriverPack including these drivers only?

We have also adopted the habit of including a "changelog' txt in testpacks because when there is than one team member working on a pack, he can see what was done to the latest testpack he downloaded and does not have to duplicate work.

I think that's good for the users too, so that they can see when a driver has been already included and don't need to post a request.

Of course we wanted you to try the testpack we linked to, because the driver you and vier requested got included.
That's another one of the things we also do. We let the person with the REQuest test the testpack even when they are not on testing team..
When you think about this you can see this makes sense.

Sure it does, I will try it as soon as possible, probably next week-end.

So far I have used only nLite to include the drivers into the installation disk. Do you instead suggest to use it only to create the iso and then add the drivers to it using DriverPacks BASE? If yes, why do you recommend this procedure?

Thanks for the explanation OverFlow smile

Is there a list of contents for the DriverPacks, either of the official or the test ones?

It seems you missed the link to the new LAN ((testpack)) which includes the driver.

Hi Jaak, I didn't miss it but I have been known about it only after I have already tried the driver mentioned by Vier on the first post. So I can't report a positive on the new testpack yet but I can report a negative on the current "DriverPack LAN".

How often are the official driver packs updated? Am I supposed to use always the testpacks?

You will have to report a positive or negative.

I report that the "Attansic L1 driver" currently present in the DriverPack LAN caused Windows to freeze at startup in my system (an Asus X53S laptop) and that the one which Vier reported (2.3.7.9) works fine.

The file is 2.4.7.11 for Vista. But file for XP is 2.3.7.9 in inf file

Thanks for the explanation :-)

Hello,

I created a slipstream XP installation disk including both all the "standard" Driver Packs and the 3rd Party ones. When I reach about 99% percent of the installation I got a "Page fault in nonpaged area caused by setupdd.sys" error message. The error doesn't occur when using a disk with only the standard Driver Packs included. Does anybody know what the problem could be due?

Hello,

I own an Asus X53S laptop and had a problem with its Ethernet device, an "Attansic/Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T". The device is correctly detected, but the system works only with the device disabled: if enabled the system will freeze. After rebooting the system hangs during start up when the XP logo appears. The device may be disabled by logging in Safe Mode.

I have used the version of the drivers you mentioned and it worked, it fixed the Windows freezing at start up problem.

Why did you wrote version "2.3.7.9" while linked the "2.4.7.11" one?

When will they be included in the official DriverPack LAN? The version currently present in the pack is surely not working, replacing it promptly might save people a lot of trouble.
