Unable to load DOS NDIS Driver for Atheros AR8151 - for Ghosting Purposes
I appreciate that Ghost is a pretty old fasioned way of imaging PC's, but I've just not had the time to learn RIS.
I have just purchased some Toshiba L630 laptops that have Atheros AR8151 Gigabit LAN onboard.
I order to ghost the HD i usually make a ghost boot disk with NDIS lan drivers on and then add that to my USB boot key.
I've downloaded what I thought was the appropriate driver (ndis2-v2.0.1.4-AR813x_AR8
Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller NDIS2.01 x2.0.1.4(08/19/10)
No Module Found !
Module Initialization Failed
I've tried a bunch of atheros drivers so figure it is likely to be something else
Thanks in Advance

To Sysexpert,
I only got as far as option 1 the netbootdisk and managed to get that to detect and boot fine, however had a few problems transferring that to my USB boot key, so I extracted the AR8151 Driver from within the FILES.UHA archive on the floppy and built that into my existing boot key and it worked
It seems that the newer driver I downloaded from Atheros wouldnt detect in the laptop, but the older driver from the netbootdisk floppy worked fine.
At this stage I have not looked at the other options available but hope to in the future, although its really about time I got RIS/WDS set up, but the simplicity of ghost is its beauty.
To rindi,
Thanks for trying to assist here, again I've not tested it but on the basis that all this info is still useful to us old school ghosters I'll allocate you some of the points
