Verner,
Once the kernel starts running, it will probe for the network card. It
can even find cards that are disabled in the bios.
(The magic of Linux ;-)
What you need to do is tell the kernel which NIC you want to use.
You do that by passing a kernel command line, such as:
NIC=8139too
To put that on the kernel command line, you need to add an option-128
and option-129 to your dhcpd.conf file.
You can find info on kernel commandline args here:
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/KernelOptions
Once you set that for your client, and restart dhcpd, you should be
fine.
