I'd recommend checking http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Deploying-Windows-7-Part1.html as well as the MDT help files that are available when you install.
In a nutshell, the easiest thing to do is create your image on a VM (so you don't have driver issues to worry with, among other reasons) and then let MDT inject the appropriate drivers at the time of deployment.
Also see http://www.deployvista.com/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/132/language/sv-SE/Default.aspx for some ideas on driver management.

Keep us posted, and if helpful please rate! Kind regards
