Seeing that it is integrated, it should have some sort of either PXE or
other tftp based boot.  I would first check the documentation for the card
and see what type of booting it allows through the card.  Could you shed
some light on the specifics of the machine, maybe a service tag so that I
could read on the machine itself.

I know PXE is a little trickier getting it to work, but it might be an
alternative to you...

Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] 3Com 3C920 NIC issue

I'm looking to move my organization entirely (or nearly so) to Linux, in
particular LTSP.  I have created a server, and have successfully connected
machines having Intel Pro 100 and 3COM 3C905C-TX NICs, using Etherboot
disks.  My problem comes with machines which have integrated 3COM 3C920
cards in them.  These cards are supposedly 3C905C-TX compatible, but they
don't seem to find the LTSP server so as to get an IP address via DHCP.
Obtaining other machines is out of the question; all of our machines are
purchased from Dell.  Adding a card that works is also out of the question;
it adds cost.

Can anyone shed light on this problem?  It would be so greatly appreciated.
