Siroj Posted September 29, 2015 Report post Posted September 29, 2015 We are running into issues with our Surface Pro 3 devices and our WiFi network. For whatever reason the combination of our Cisco devices, the use of 5Ghz band and the latest/default driver version 15.68.3091.193 isn't working well. For us, a solution for now is to use an older driver version (15.68.3073.151). Using that version we have no problems what so ever. The problem we have is that the 3091.193 version driver is a default driver in the install.wim file of Windows 10. Using SCCM to apply a driver package containing the older driver doesn't work as the driver inside the install.wim is used. Also deleting the driver from the install.wim using DISM is not supported: Found 1 driver package(s) to remove. Removing 1 of 1 - mrvlpcie8897.inf: Error - The specified driver cannot be removed. Removing a default driver package is not supported. Does anyone have a supported method of forcing the installation of an older driver version? Any help is appreciated! Edit: Forgot to mention we are using SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 CU1 with all hotfixes. OS we are deploying is Windows 10. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siroj Posted September 30, 2015 Report post Posted September 30, 2015 Yesterday Microsoft released a new WiFi driver for the Surface Pro 3 (15.68.3073.151). In this new driver they seem to have fixed the bugs that were causing us a lot of issues. Must do some further testing but first impressions look good. The new drivers are not available as a separate download yet, so i have extracted them from an updated machine and imported them in SCCM. The need to downgrade to the older version is no longer there it seems, but i still would like to know if there is a method of force installing an older version of a driver while a newer version is included in the install.wim (just for the sake of learning new stuff).
