Why can I configure a NetXtreme II adapter using its PCI Bus Number/Device Number/Function Number as its identifier through an unattended answer file?
Currently, Microsoft does not support assigning network properties through an answer file for devices that use a virtual bus when using the PCI Bus Number, Device Number, and Function Number as the network adapter’s identifier. Due to the current and future advanced offerings of the NetXtreme II adapter, the use of a virtual bus device was required. Please refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 920293 at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920293/en-us for information on its proposed workaround based on the current operating system limitation.
