Realtek RTL8187B on Toshiba Notebooks - HWID addition
Got a Toshiba A210 19Z Notebook. Installing WinXP SP3 RC 2 Build 3311 with DPBase 8.01 RC2 and all actual DriverPacks, the WLAN device is recognized as "RTL8187B_WLAN_Adapter", but the driver ist not installed.
After a quick research (german) i found that there had to be added an additional line to the inf file.
Adding this line:
Code:
%RTL8187B.DeviceDesc% = RTL8187B.ndi, USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8197&REV_0200
to section:
Code:
;; IDs for 98SE/ME/2K/XP
In DPW802/D/WRE4/net8187b.inf seems to solve this problem.
//Edit: corrected: i meant DPBase 8.01 RC2, sorry for that.

Re: Realtek RTL8187B on Toshiba Notebooks - HWID addition
That Wlan pack is almost ready for release.
When I recently scanned some additions for WLAN I discovered utilityspotlight05 is not perfect, because it could not collect the HWIDs from some drivers.
So... Today I looked for folders it had skipped, and found ten of those. 
EDIT
Well, from over 270... not bad. 
The good part of this excercise was that I spotted a few things I did wrong.
(like an empty folder here and there, caused while renaming the folders to shorten path.. or a folder that should have been deleted but wasn't.)
grrr.. ten drivers to manually get the hardware info from, to put in a worksheet.
I will try to contact the writer of this great tool, and hope he can fix the problem.
Anybody here good in Visual basic?
we may need a variant vbs for getting the info out of these few INF files.
The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.
