Exactly what you need to do is drop the inf file for the driver of the nic
card ( preferably from the nic manufacturer) into the i386 dir, setup the
oemplug and play drivers path and delete any .pnf file in the cd based image
that you setup originally with sp2 for xp or sp4 for 2000. Then of course
restart the binl and tftp service. The .pnf files will be recreated with the
new inf setting and other stuff once you restart the service.
