Installing the LAN over USB Windows device driver
When you install Windows, an unknown RNDIS device is shown in the Device
Manager. You must install a Windows INF file that identifies this device and is
required by Windows operating system to detect and use the LAN over USB
functionality. The signed version of the INF is included in all of the Windows
versions of the IMM, UEFI, and DSA update packages. The file needs to be
installed only once. To install the Windows INF file, complete the following steps:
1.
Obtain a Windows version of the IMM, server firmware, or DSA update
package (see “Updating firmware” on page 67 for more information).
2.
Extract the ibm_rndis_server_os.inf and device.cat files from the firmware
update package and copy them to the \WINDOWS\inf subdirectory.
3.
For Windows 2003: Install the ibm_rndis_server_os.inf file by right-clicking
the file and selecting Install. This generates a PNF file of the same name in
\WINDOWS\inf
.
For Windows 2008: Go to Computer Management, then Device Manager and
locate the RNDIS Device. Select Properties → Driver → Reinstall driver. Point
the server to the \Windows\inf directory, where it can locate the
ibm_rndis_server_os.inf
file and install the device.
