  I tried gPXE.  Its goals looks impressive.  But I am lost.  It 
didn't recognize the NIC.  PXE-On-A-Disk did recognize it.  
PXE-On-A-Disk gave a "No IP address" message.  I could find that 
problem as part of a faq.  gPXE documentation seems to me much less 
organized.
  Should I somehow integrate ethersel.c32 within gPXE?  I do want to 
have a boot diskette that will be able to operate with as many NICs as 
possible.  Can I use ethersel.c32 as part of a gPXE script?  Is there 
a scripting language for gPXE scripts?  How to get acquinted with 
gPXE?
