Hi Wouter, My guess is that you are using a base address and IRQ that is not the default for the Linux ISA card driver (it searches a few pre-compiled settings, check the driver code for your type of NIC). I would suggest that you either supply them as kernel parameters (I'd have to check docs on DHCP for this) or recompile the driver to check for your base addr and IRQ settings and create a new LTSP kernel. Also you should make sure there are no interrupt or address conflicts since ISA is not PnP. I would go with passing them in as kernel parameters.
