Configuring the LAN over USB interface manually
The IMM using the LAN over USB interface requires operating-system drivers and
other configuration. The firmware update package or Advanced Settings Utility
attempt to perform the setup automatically, if needed. If the automatic setup fails
or if you prefer to set up the LAN over USB manually, use one of the following
processes.

LAN over USB Windows Driver Installation
Use this information to install the LAN over USB driver for Windows.
When you install Windows, there will be an unknown RNDIS device in the device
manager. IBM provides a Windows INF file that identifies this device. The signed
version of the INF is included in all of the Windows versions of the IMM, UEFI,
and DSA update packages. Perform the following steps to install
ibm_rndis_server_os.inf.
Note: These steps only need to be performed if the server is running a Windows
operating system and the ibm_rndis_server_os.inf file has not been previously
installed. The file needs to be installed only once. It is required by Windows
operating systems to detect and use the LAN over USB functionality.
