[syslinux] PXE-capable NIC listing?

[Eichert, Diana]

There is a PXE ROM image available from Realtek, a lot of 
the Realtek based cards have a ROM socket.  I have an old 
Kingston 10/100 card that used the Realtek with a ROM 
socket, unfortunately I don't have a ROM burner.

I know of the following cards supported by the card vendors:
3com 3c9xx
Intel Pro/100 series
IBM Token-Ring PCI 2

Maybe the Pro/1000F is also supported, but the rom was a) disabled or
b) not flashed. Look around at Intel's web site for a flash rom.
I found: 
http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/1000/ttiboot.htm
The Pro/1000 F is not supported (no rom on the card!), but Pro/1000 T
Desktop, Pro/1000 XT Server and Pro/1000 XF Server work.

BTW: For many cards with a rom socket a pxe rom is available, have
a look at e.g. www.bootix.com.

Regards,

Josef
