http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923834

Manually load the network driver, and then verify that it is the correct driver. To do this, follow these steps:

1. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
   drvload driver.inf
   Notes
   • Driver.inf is the name of the third-party network driver.
   • You have to specify the full path and the name of the driver. For example, if Driver.inf is on a CD, and the CD drive is drive D, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
     drvload.exe d:\Folder\Driver.inf
2. Type wpeutil InitializeNetwork, and then press ENTER.
3. To verify network connectivity, type ipconfig /all.
   
   Note The ipconfig /all command generates a detailed configuration report for all interfaces that include any remote access adapters.
