TBone,

 

You can make a custom recovery disk and when you have the option of adding drivers, you can manually select the driver files.  I would recommend manually downloading the driver set from the Intel site for your model of NIC.

Thanks, Erik

 

I tried that and it still doesn't work. Its almost like it doesn't recognize the network card is there.

What happened when you tried to manually add the driver?  Did you receive an error?  When manually adding it doesn't need to detect anything as it will build the driver set off of the .INF file that you've downloaded.

I was having exactly the same issue, but I did get it figured out.  I had to create a Custom Recovery CD, and add the drivers for the Network Device.  The drivers can be downloaded from www.dell.com/support.  My Optiplex 755 has the Intel 825xx Gigabit Network Device.  When you download the driver it will download an .exe file.  When you run that it extracts the drivers and puts them in C:\Dell\driver\R162323 or whatever the name of the .exe file was.  When I built the recovery CD, I had to use the Vista32 drivers to get it to work, even tho the machine I was recoverying was an XP machine.  But it did in fact work.  The driver files that I added to the Custom Recovery Cd were E1E6032.inf and E1G6032.inf.  Hope this works for you.
