Re: diskless boot

I have no idea what the network card is, looks kind of anonymous.
The chip with the largest number of pins says "Winbond W89C940F
806TE274850402".  Winbond seems to be another maker than Realtek,
sigh... 

I will try at work and see if someone happens to have a card with the
Realtek chip laying around that I can try.
