Windows Remote Installation Service (RIS) Drivers

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BELOW
Due to limitations in Microsoft's operating systems not supporting the Virtual Bus Device architecture of the NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit adapter under certain circumstances, separate drivers were created to address these limitations. The NetXtreme II monolithic "RIS" driver allows the adapter to behave similarly to standard network adapters and only provides network connectivity without the advanced offerings of the device. The monolithic driver should be used for connectivity during the text mode portion of a RIS installation (by placing in the I386 or AMD64 platform directory), in a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), and for the agent used for Microsoft's Automated Deployment Services (ADS).

		Version	Date	Size
Windows Server 2003 - RIS		5.0.2c	08/28/09	417KB
Windows Server 2003 (x64) - RIS		5.0.2c	08/28/09	417KB

Windows Management Applications

These installers will not upgrade existing installations of Broadcom Management and Driver Apps; therefore, the existing installer must be removed and doing so will lose any settings and customizations.
