Actually, PXELINUX talks to PXE, not to UNDI (fine distinction, I know.)
But obviously, yes, it should work either way. I would be very
interested in the *exact* failure mode, but in your case it was probably
PXE stack version dependent; 3Com had a lot of problems in the early
versions of their PXE code.
In general, if you want to be on the safe side, I would go with an Intel
card. Their PXE stack is very mature, and their cards are flash
upgradeable should you have a problem.
