Could you please go into details a bit? I've been using such a setup for ages and haven't been aware that it would not work: Gigabit backbone: HP ProCurve 4208gl directly connected: GB onboard (SuperMicro boards, both E1000 and Broadcom stuff) As long as the BIOS supports PXE, there's no problem. Of course I haven't been able to boot other machines (with SysKonnect cards) via PXE but this is a "feature" of those cards (and even EtherBoot would not work with them for some strange reason so I'm stuck with the FAI boot floppy in these cases)...
