I am still using 4.2, because my only server is running SLES10. Some
time ago I ran ltspadmin and updated to the 2.6.20.9-ltsp-1 kernel
which I think is the latest available. I have just set up a client with
the D-Link DGE 528T NIC, which uses the Realtek 8169 driver (r8169) and
it is working perfectly.
I used the r8169:dlink Etherboot ROM image from Rom-o-matic for the boot
floppy and inserted the following in my dhcpd.conf file:
host office6 {
hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx; # (This is the mac of the NIC)
fixed-address 192.168.0.10;
option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00; # NOT a mac address
option option-129 "NIC=r8169
MOPTS=nolock,ro,wsize=2048,rsize=2048";
}
