I put bcm5700's in all my clients,
left the onboard NIC enabled with PXE on,
and put the following in dhcpd.conf.

You'll also need a pxe encapsulated etherboot.
First pxe request gets etherboot, second dhcp request gets
the ltsp kernel with a kernel command line option.

Method works for both my CPQ Deskpros and Fujitsu Scovery's
Works like a charm....

      ## Option 128 is ETHERBOOT specific and enables option 129
      ## Option 129 passes appended parameters to the kernel, and NIC=xxx
      ##            merely sets an evironment variable which the LTSP linuxrc
      ##            happens to use to determine which nic driver to load
      ##            If unset (default) linuxrc invokes pci_scan which in
      ##            my case blows up because I have 2 nics (tg3 & e100)

      option option-128           E4:45:74:68:00:00;
