In 3DP Net, only is need it one driver, not 100 or more.
ONLY ONE NET-DRIVER! Maybe two, or more. But, 95MB? For a file fitcher that only weights 5MB? Where is the logic in there?

The idea with a large download for 3DP Net is that you can keep it handy on something like a USB stick so that if you install Windows on hardware that it does not have a network adaptor driver for you can run that file
It needs to be large because it needs to have a large collection of different network adapters in there otherwise it would only work for a few systems and not serve its purpose as it was designed for
Having said this though what I would like to see is that once you have a network driver installed you can update it through 3DP Chip the way you can with the other drivers and not having to download 3DP Net to update an already functioning network driver
I understand fully when you install Windows and Windows does not install a network driver, that a large 3DP Net installer is needed because it will not know which driver a system needs.
However once a working networking driver is installed and 3DP Chip has Internet access, I do not see why 3DP Chip cannot be designed to update that networking driver the way it up dates all other drivers. It knows what networking device you have, it has access to the Internet and all it needs to be designed to do is obtain the correct updated driver for that single networking device and install it.
Presently each time any 3DP user wants to update their networking driver, whether already operational with an existing driver or not, they need to download the 100MB 3DP Net to do so.
If you see my reasoning, would you please consider this as an improvement to a near future version of 3DP Chip?
