I use a Dos Boot Disk + PXELinux + memdisk + NICs with PXE/Etherboot + 
M$ Network Client + PCISCAN (www.nu2.nu) + TCP/IP + Samba Server.
It is possible to auto-detect a PCI NIC and load the corresponding 
driver, so you do not need a UNDI packet driver (it needs a lot of 
memory in the 640KB area).

If you still want to use a UNDI packet driver, there is one by Intel and 
one by 3com.
You have to download the Intel PXE PDK (filename is pxe20-pdk.exe) or 
the 3Com MBA Utility Disk v4.30 to get them.

I have never tested the IPX protocol (TCP/IP works great) so I cannot 
tell you anything about it.
