Using the boot floppy referenced below, gPXE (although this version identifies itself as 0.9.9+ and not the rc1) seems to detect the NIC. Running an ifstat at the command prompt seems to confirm this, but running a dhcp net0 results in an error:
gPXE> dhcp net0 DHCP (net0 00:1e:4f:d3:28:a1)................Connection timed out (0x4c106035) Could not configure net0: Connection timed out (0x4c106035) Anything else I should/could try? Will trying the *.iso make any difference? It's easy to reuse the floppies as I am running out of CD-Rs :-) Thanks again for the help.
