AMD PCnet network card drivers for VMware

Additional drivers are required when using Windows Deployment Services to deploy Windows Vista, while using VMware Workstation.

Two locations for AMD PCnet drivers:
  • VMware NIC driver. The easiest way is to start up a VMware session and choose the “Install VMware Tools” option. Don’t worry if you already have them installed—all this does is mount a VMware Tools installation CD (which may autorun to perform an installation, for which you may just press “exit”). In the CD that appears in your VMware session, go to: E:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers\vmxnet\win2k\ and copy these files to your host system. Now we can use the peimg utility to mount the driver.
