Enhancment: Add the ability to inject VMware network drivers #5

Open Technogeezer50 opened 1 month ago

Asking for an enhancement for an option to allow w11arm_esd2iso to inject the VMware vmxnet3 drivers into the generated ISO.

Why?

Windows 11 ARM does not come with a VMware vmxnet3 network driver like it does on Windows x64. Without this driver, manual steps need to be taken in order to install the driver and/or disable OOBE checks for networking in order for OOBE setup to complete.

The requested enhancement would inject the vmxnet3 ARM driver into the ISO, allowing Windows to detect and configure the network in a VMware virtual machine without having to resort to the manual procedures. This would make for a smoother installation process for VMware virtual machines.

Under consideration. No time frame guaranteed for a deilverable.
