WinPe NIC Drivers for Dell Latitude E5570
I have downloaded the WinPE Cab from Dell's site for both the PE5.0 and PE6.0. When I run through the Media Builder, it seems to pull in all drivers successfully. I allow the media builder to automatically get the PE files.
I am using x86 and the x86 drivers.
I have the latest hotfix already installed for 11.7
When I boot into the PE environment, There is no NIC available to image the machine to the network. It has the Intel I219 chipset. I was unable to get this to work for either environment - 5.0 or 6.0. I WAS able to get it to work with PE 4.0, however I was getting an error on the image creation.
This is from a fresh install of 11.7, not an upgrade.
I appreciate any help!

Ok, so I sort of found a way around this. I used the "load driver" in the Acronis software on boot. I had to load each driver manually until I found the correct one. Then I re-created the media injecting ONLY the correct driver and it worked.
In the past I would just inject every x86 driver and it seemed that WinPE would install the correct one. That is apparently not the case now, at least for these drivers. I did see very similar drivers in there for other Intel NICs. It may be that they are indeed too closely related and the wrong driver was loaded.
I am having a different problem now. When I go to image it, it immediately fails with muyltiple errors. Error codes 41, 33, 20263, and two more 20's. I have the full copy-paste below:
