It *is* confusing, but the initial DHCP request is using the PXE network stack built into the card, *before* you load an operating system. The PXE environment then downloads and executes a bootloader, which then downloads the linux kernel and initramfs using the PXE network stack. But linux needs it's own network card drivers (and/or firmware) in the initramfs environment in order to establish a network connection to the server to get the full operating system up and running... Are you able to boot the thin clients with live media using a USB stick and get networking to work? Do you know what model network cards you're using? live well, vagrant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
