Not detecting network drivers by default in "Example: Microsoft Windows image" in Virtual Machine Image Guide

[R]

This bug tracker is for errors with the documentation, use the following as a template and remove or add fields as you see fit. Convert [ ] into [x] to check boxes:

- [x] This doc is inaccurate in this way: In step 3 "Enable the VirtIO drivers", the document says that the "E:\virtio-win-0.1XX\viostor\w7\amd64" needs to be selected and later the drivers for virtio scsi and network drivers get detected. This makes it seem like by choosing "E:\virtio-win-0.1XX\viostor\w7\amd64" both, the virtio scsi and network drivers will be detected. I have checked with different ISO images of windows (10, 8.1and server 12) and only the virtio scsi driver gets detected, while the network drivers do not appear. To detect the network drivers, first the virtio scsi drivers need to be selected and loaded from "E:\virtio-win-0.1XX\viostor\w7\amd64", and then "E:\NETKVM\win10\amd64" needs to be selected and loaded by again going to "Load drivers" button (The network driver's path given is assuming windows 10 is being loaded). The compute node which I am trying this on was installed as per instructions given here (https://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/install-guide-ubuntu/).

It would help if an additional sub-step is provided describing how to load the network drivers.

- [ ] This is a doc addition request.
- [ ] I have a fix to the document that I can paste below including example: input and output.

Hi there,

Just to double check, you're referencing step 3 in this document: https://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/windows-image.html ?

And your request is to add an additional sub-step describing how to load network drivers?

Hi,

Yes, I am asking for a sub-step to be added in Step 3 showing how to add
network drivers.

Thanks,
Rakshith
