KBE error on E6520

When PXE booting a E6520 we receive the following error:

ERROR: Unable to determine servder IP address from DHCP
WARNING: Using hardcoded K2000 IP address as fallback

It appears to be a network driver issue with the new E6520's
I have downloaded the (Dell Driver Pack for WinPE), but am unsure about how to use the DISM tool to integrate / rebuild the KBE.
Not sure if doing this will fix the issue.

Once the driver is in the driver share, just re-cache.

Don't worry messing with DISM, its easier to just rebuild the KBE using the media manager.

Yup, go to: "http://kbox/driver_manage" recache the K2000 Boot enviroment(s) and upload a new WinPE via the media manager, by far the easiest way =)

Nevermind, were the wrong drivers. Trying again.

Yes. After getting the right drivers. With the first go around, the NIC came up, but OS install failed with no drives found. Then I added the storage driver, re-cached drivers (again), and rebuilt the boot environment (again), and all went well.
You know, considering the kbox is a Dell product, you'd think they'd automate the kbox driver updating process with (at least) their own drivers.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,
so that the conversation will remain readable.
