I guess the only tricky bit with using ethersel.c32 is the fall-back 
logic, for Torgeir's case.  nictype.c32's behaviour for '--config 
--fallback <cmd>' should at least do something useful for Torgeir...

   LABEL install
     COM32 nictype.c32
     APPEND --config --fallback ipxe.pxe

...Since ipxe.pxe is the default and VVVVDDDD will be a config-file 
specifying undionly.kpxe.

But maybe I haven't followed the fall-back logic in ethersel.c32 well 
enough...  On the seventh-last line, it appears that the remaining lines 
can never be reached, due to the call.
