NIC drivers fail in Windows XP SP2 only

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

As usual, I have fixed my own problem.

To deploy a Windows XP Image

Modify the b57xp32.inf file that is to be placed in the
RemoteInstall\Setup\Language\Images\Dir_Name\i386 folder, remove NTx86.5.1 in
two lines (see the following example):
Original Revised

[Manufacturer] [Manufacturer]
%BRCM% = Broadcom, NTx86.5.1 %BRCM% = Broadcom

[ControlFlags] [ControlFlags]
ExcludeFromSelect = * ExcludeFromSelect = *

[Broadcom.NTx86.5.1] [Broadcom]
