I'm having trouble installing the wireless lan service offline with a fresh installed windows 2012 server RTM.

I tried "install-windowsfeature wireless-networking" in the non-gui mode and using the server manager in the gui mode to enable the wireless lan service, but both of them show a "failure configuring windows updates" message after the installation restarted the system.

I checked the event log and I think messages about "The WLAN Autoconfig service depends on the following service: nativewifip. This service might not be installed" are the source of the issue. Google shows it is a service called "native wifi filter", but I cannot find anywhere to install that service.

I don't have a Ethernet adapter for that computer, so have to install everything offline before the wifi's working.
