SUMMARY
When you use the unattended setup option to install Windows NT on a computer that uses a 3Com 3c900 EtherLink adapter, you may get the following message during the graphical user interface (GUI) mode portion of network setup:

Network Card not Present in the system

This message is produced when the Oemsetup.inf file of the netcard does not return a proper value. The following command string returns an empty list: Shell $(UtilityInf), GetPCIInformation, $(Vendor) $(CFID)



MORE INFORMATION
