unsigned IM(passthru) driver cannot bind to newly installed NIC

  • Artigo

1. unsigned IM(passthru) driver cannot bind to newly installed NIC
2. Uninstall a NIC in Device Manager, and re-scan hardware to re-insall it.

Unsigned IM(passthru) driver won't bind to the new NIC.

root cause:
This is by design on XP.
Check setupapi.log, see the miniport driver server-side installation is blocked because of lack of driver signature.
