Imaging XP across different hardware platforms

From the Intel site:
"Due to an issue with the Microsoft parser, you must use different .inf files in the i386 folder for XP than the XP/2003 base driver .inf. These modified .inf files can be downloaded from Download Finder. Download E1000325.exe for the PRO/1000 adapters and E100B325.exe for the PRO/100 adapters.
1. You will need the files from the main driver webpack (PRO2kxp.exe) for the $oem$/.../../nic folder.
2. You will need the e100x325.exe webpack .inf file to put in the i386 directory."
