Realtek 8822CE Wireless in WinRE

[skyblaster]

Describe the bug If I attempt to integrate Realtek 8822 Wi-Fi drivers into my WinRE using the -DriverHWID 'VEN_10EC&DEV_C822' option, Realtek HD Audio drivers are integrated instead.

Expected behavior Download and integrate the following CAB: Realtek Semiconductor Corp. - Net - 2024.10.138.0

Additional context Grepping the OSD source, it appeared that this driver may be included in the HPSystemCatalog, however, after adding HP to the -CloudDriver string, WinPE still is not detecting this chipset.

I also attempted to load the driver manually, but can't seem to get around the Read-Only folder attributes within the mounted WIM C:\Users\redact\AppData\Local\Temp\Mount921933256\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the issue is with the Realtek and the Microsoft Catalog. Searching for that HWID returns 1000 different Realtek options, so I auto-select one of them. Unfortunately I don't have the logic to pick the exact one you need. This is not something I am going to resolve

Aare you sure you are manually adding the driver correctly?

Aare you sure you are manually adding the driver correctly?

I simply mount the WIM using the following command.

Mount-OSDWindowsImage C:\OSDCloud\Media\sources\boot.wim

I'm sure I'm doing the next part incorrectly, but I extract the contents of the cab using 7-Zip and then attempt to copy the folder to C:\Users\redact\AppData\Local\Temp\Mount921933256\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\

I can copy to C:\Users\redact\AppData\Local\Temp\Mount921933256 just fine, but the Windows folder and all sub folders have the Read-Only attribute set.

Yes, you are adding drivers to a mounted WIM incorrectly. If you do it right, you will not get an error.

I've made it easy for you, try this:

Working beautifully now. Thanks for the guidance! Sorry I missed the -DriverPath option.
