Hey Dave,

Just wondering if you happen to know the file name or location of the RNDIS drivers in WinXP? I thought I might simply copy them across(from a friends computer that still has WinXP on it) to Windows 7 and just see if they work.

Cheers,

You can see the files in the linux.inf script. The script is built to work with Win98, WinME, Win2K, and WinXP. I am not expert in understanding .inf scripts, but it appears that it wants the two files ( usb8023.sys & rndismp.sys ) in the %%SystemRoot%%\System32\drivers\ directory. There is an additional letter at the end of the filename, before the period, that identifies the files for the older Windows systems. These two files do exist in that directory on my XP PRO system. However, it also seems to be necessary to make some registry settings for this all to work. Unfortunately, I am not at all familiar with how the linux.inf makes the registry modifications. If you can figure out what linux.inf is doing you might be able to figure what is keeping it from working on Win7????????????????

Thanks for the info, it may come in handy.

I think I would have more chance of figuring out the Universal theory than I would at doing that!

I'll pass along your info to my Dad. He might have some idea what it all means and might be able to come up with some solution.
