	If a device is not listed here, use the CE6 drivers instead.  It will work 
	on WEC7.

Windows Embedded Standard 7 

	Please use the standard Windows 7 drivers and installs for this 
	operating system.

	For the Intel 82541ER please use the drivers located in the 82541ER_Win7 folder.
	These drivers will also work on Windows 7.  It is not certified and 
	is only signed by Intel.  Due to the nature of the 82541ER it cannot get
	Windows 7 certification.  

Windows XP based Operating Systems

	This includes Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded (XPE), Windows Embedded Standard
	2009 and their service packs.

	The latest shipping drivers for the various Intel(R) Ethernet products
	can be installed after the XPE operating system image is built.  
	The package provide here is used only in image creation via the platform
	builder.  For example if you want to use the 16.7 drivers, build the
	image first, deploy it to the target system, then install the 16.7 driver 
	package on the deployed target system.  

	**NOTE: Due to the technical constraints that come with the platform 
	image method, we will not be providing updated SLD files or binaries 
	that work with the SLD files. **

	** Please note some of the drivers have not changed since the last release
	and are only included for completeness.  No further changes to these legacy
	drivers is expected or planned. **

Windows XP Embedded Teaming

	Please see the Embedded_Teaming_instructions.txt file in the Teaming folder.

Windows XP Operating System, Server 2003 Operating System and Server 2008 Operating System

        The following INF files are provided to enable embedded usage installs on
        non-supported product and Windows operating system combinations.  These files
        are not and cannot be certified.  Issues discovered when using
        these files must be reproduced on supported Windows operating systems
        before support can be offered.

        In order to use these INF files, copy the base driver files from the
        release media onto your local storage.  Next, copy the appropriate INF file(s) into the
        same directory as the other files. The INF file(s) use the appropriate
        driver files from the release media.  For example, if using 10G for the Windows XP
        Operating System from the 14.7 release, find the directory that contains the
        ixe5132.inf and then place the ixe5132_XP.inf in the same location.  Afterwards, 
        install pointing at the ixe5132_XP.INF.   The INF file(s) contain the appropriate
        software release that they are based off of.  Note that you'll get the best results if you
        use the same release as the base.

	Note:  XP will report the speed of a 10 Gigabit connection as 1.4Gbps.  This is caused by the
	operating system truncating the reported data from 64 bits to 32 bits.  10Gbps in 
	decimal is 10,000,000,000, in hex this is 2540BE400h; XP truncates the lowest nibble 
	in the upper DWORD of this value.  This makes the speed display value = 540BE400 hex, 
	which is 1,410,065,408 in decimal(1.4Gbps).  As of Service Pack 3, this has not been addressed.
	Please see Microsoft for any possible improvement in this behavior.


        Windows XP Operating System support for 10 GbE products:
                Use the file named ixe5132_XP.inf for x86 82598 based installs
                Use the file named ixe51x64_XP.inf for x64 82598  based installs.
                Use the file named ixn5132_XP.inf for x86 82599 based installs
                Use the file named ixn51x64_XP.inf for x64 82599  based installs.
                Use the file named ixt51x64_XP.inf for x64 X540 based installs.
                Use the file named ixt51x64_XP.inf for x86 X540 based 10GBASE-T installs.

                There is no Itanium processor family version of this file.

                Note: Only device IDs 10BF and 10F5 are supported when using this file
                at this time.

        Windows Server 2008 Operating System support for client chipsets:
                Use the file named e1y5132_server2008.inf for x86 installs.
                Use the file named e1yx64_server2008.inf for x64 installs.
                There is no Itanium processor family version of this file.
