Topic: Updated Driverpack releases?

Hello all...Happy New Year!

Just curious as to whether or not the driverpacks have been updated since 12/24/2012 as shown on the link http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks

I know you guys have been exceptionally busy with other developments as well as SAD and you most certainly have lives of your own yikes) ... just curious because I frequent your site as it is a MAJOR blessing for my IT needs. I appreciate all you guys do as well as others who contribute. Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks again!

Re: Updated Driverpack releases?

Welcome to DriverPacks.
Yes, we have many DriverPacks being updated in the (hidden) testing area of the forums.
Once we have determined that they are fit for general release, we will.

Re: Updated Driverpack releases?

Hi,

I have been successfully using the driver packs for the past two years. We are currently bench testing some new HP laptops and desktops with I7 chipsets and sadly the driverpack installers fail to load chipset, network drivers, USB3 and video card drivers on the new hardware. I see the driver packs haven't been updated for a while. Is there a planned release soon?

I am looking for NIC drivers for the IntelL217 and L217LM/V. Gobi 4G, Intel video driver, Intel USB 3 driver for Intel 8

Probook 650 G1 Notebook [http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/h … .199480143]

Elitedesk 800G1 Desktop [http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/h … .199480143]

Hi again,

Just spent the time to see how these packs are working and realised I can update the drivers I require quite easily, will test and see the fruits of your labour.

Re: Updated Driverpack releases?

Yeah we're down a few PackTeam members. Most notably MrSmartepants.
I am looking at having some time for BASE, and releasing some of the Betas soon.

I am hoping to get things current again, want to help? big_smile

I'm still here!
Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated! big_smile
I do try to read the forums every day but I have nearly zero time for DriverPacks now.  Real life keeps getting in the way.

Re: Updated Driverpack releases?

Hi Guys,

Firstly, thanks for your hard work on DriverPacks, you have saved my vegetarian bacon a few times now. Has somebody documented the driver pack update process? If I have some free time, I am happy to help.
I have got around my current issue by insert the Chipset and lan drivers into the image. My Company is in the process of ditching an old Altiris for Microsoft SCCM and for the past while driverpacks has filled the gap for deployment. If I can help let me know.

Re: Updated Driverpack releases?

Please make an XP test disc with the latest Nightlies, if you agree, and relay any issues remaining so the final chapter can be written & those packs "published".  MassStorage & Sound need the most attention.
  Then we can all attack the NT6 packs together, T.E.A.M!

Together Everyone Achieves More!

I look forward to working with you and learning together.     smile

Re: Updated Driverpack releases?

Welcome to the testing team devlin7!

You will find that there are some forums that were previously hidden from you that are now visible. big_smile

Thanks for your feedback and offer to help. We look forward to seeing you in the team forums.

Re: Updated Driverpack releases?

Hey Members,

Thanks you all for your hard work on DriverPacks. I use it a long time ago with the great Tool "Stand Alone Driverpack utility for all OS (XP, 2k3, 2k8, Vista, Win7)" and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).

I wait on a now release because i miss any USB 3.0 drivers.
Can you give us an New News when the Realese is fisnish?

Sorry for my bad Englisch.

Re: Updated Driverpack releases?

Hello I had to jump on this bandwagon and say what a great job you guys do.

I recently downloaded your Driverpacks and imported to SCCM for our deployments, we have 6000+ Windows 7 clients on our campus and while there has been some standardization there is a lot of different hardware specs. Rather than creating my own driver packages (which I was previously doing) which were all around 1 gig each it made sense for me to import the driverpacks.net stuff which came to around 3 or 4 gig and just use the Auto Apply Driver tool built into SCCM OSD limiting it to the Driverpacks.net packages. This has worked quite well on some older hardware, I have verified working on the below:

Dell Optiplex 755
Dell Optiplex 760
Dell Precision T1500
Dell Precision T1600
HP Compaq Elite 8000
HP Compaq Elite 8200
HP Compaq Elite 8300 - some having network card trouble, maybe slightly different revision?
HP z210
HP z220

However we're now moving towards HP's new line of hardware and have had some issues using the current "live" driverpacks with the portables from HP as well as the newer workstations. I would really welcome a new NT6.1 (Windows 7) driver pack from you guys. I am going to start testing the BETA's mentioned earlier in this post and will reply to the BETA thread if I can verify working on a these portables and new workstations from HP.

Keep up the good work guys, I hope my testing of the BETA at our site helps towards a new "live" release even though we have limited hardware specs.

Thanks!

Re: Updated Driverpack releases?

Welcome to DriverPacks.net d4rkcell,

We only have one person actively working on the packs ATM. He is almost Done with final updates to the NT5 DriverPacks. They will need less and less if any attention going forward. TechDud believes that NT6 packs may start turning up soon.

You can certainly help by posting HWIDs of missing drivers and links to known working drivers that match that HWID.

In the past we had a team of people updating packs, each one has it's own idiosyncrasies and some people would do certain packs, mrsmartepants was the only one updating all of them for way over a year. And he is the only one besides me that knows how to do them all correctly. Techdud has fought his way through all the toughest packs we have and is ready for the fallout of his first releases (LOL).  With each iteration of NT PnP gets a little better. Back in win 9x days we called it Plug and Pray. NT6 platforms are the best yet and as a result are easier to update without conflicts. = should be updated with very little lead time.

Let us know what is missing and we'll get it in there big_smile

Thank you for the kind words !
