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...

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.
