Sorry for me not reading correctly what you wrote in the first place. I thought you wanted to put the new NIC into the server, reading "ltsp terminal FC3 server" ... d'ooh. For the clients, the boot rom is (nearly) always chipset specific, as such, the bootrom for the 100M chipset will not work with the gigabit card. You have a limited count of options left here. 1/ Get a ROM chip for the socket on the NIC, if available. 2/ Get the code for programming that chip, and program it into the BIOS. 3/ Find out wether Etherboot drives that card, program that into the BIOS. 4/ Use Etherboot, if available, from a floppy disc. 5/ Get another NIC, like several 3com models that come with PXE enabled. 6/ Forget about 1Gbit on the client ;-( How to get code into the system BIOS is described in the Etherboot wiki at http://wiki.etherboot.org/ - this will also work with most "PXE" software supplementaries that NIC vendors distribute as ".ROM" files, YMMV. Sorry about that misleading post of mine.
