Trey, The Compaq NC7770 PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter supports PXE: http://www.compaq.com/products/servers/networking/NC7770/ This NIC will be available next month. Also, our strategy is to support PXE on all ProLiant server embedded NICs (10/100/1000) beginning with G2 (generation2) models. Also, most existing DL and all BL servers currently support PXE on their embedded (10/100) NICs. Let me know if you have a question on a particular model and I'll get the answer for you.

Look around at Intel's web site for a flash rom. I found: http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/1000/ttiboot.htm The Pro/1000 F is not supported (no rom on the card!), but Pro/1000 T Desktop, Pro/1000 XT Server and Pro/1000 XF Server work. BTW: For many cards with a rom socket a pxe rom is available, have a look at e.g. www.bootix.com.

There is a PXE ROM image available from Realtek, a lot of the Realtek based cards have a ROM socket. I have an old Kingston 10/100 card that used the Realtek with a ROM socket, unfortunately I don't have a ROM burner. -----Original Message----- From: Josef Siemes To: syslinux at zytor.com; Trey.Harris at morganstanley.com Sent: 3/31/2002 7:35 AM Subject: Re: [syslinux] PXE-capable NIC listing?
