Overview

The Intel Ethernet Adapter Complete Driver Pack is a ZIP archive containing .inf-based drivers for all supported Intel Ethernet controllers. OSDeploy downloads the pack, extracts it using Expand-Archive, and injects the relevant drivers into the WinPE image at build time. This pack is most useful when deploying to systems with Intel NICs that are not covered by the Dell or HP vendor packs.
