I tried using 2.6.11.11 and (I think) 2.6.8 and they worked like a charm; but so do they for you - as seen above, your chip is detected as eth1 - and most probably that's the problem. So this is just what http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=337271 is about. You need to specify the interface in your kernel boot options in the PXE configuration. HTH, Michael
