Doug,
No need to build any special kernels.
The broadcom chipset is supported by the tg3 kernel module.
The problem is, we don't have all of the possible broadcom chips in the
niclist file, so auto-detection isn't working properly for you.
It turns out that it's easy to force the loading of the tg3 kernel module.
You simply need to pass 'NIC=tg3' on the kernel command line.
For PXE (which i'm sure the broadcom is using), you need to edit the
/tftpboot/lts/2.6.16.1-ltsp-2/pxelinux.cfg/default file, and add
'NIC=tg3' to the end of the 'append' line.
Take a look at:
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/KernelOptions
For more info on passing command line arguments to the kernel.

I am trying to run version ltsp 4.2 on a HP dc7600

Even though the default kernel is
bzImage-2.6.16.1-ltsp-2
( and I have checked the vanilla kernel 2.6.16 from
kernel.org, does support this card )
It appears that there is no module compiled into the
initramfs.gz file. So kernel loads and starts, but is
unable to see the NIC. ( subclass 0x1600 is not listed
int the ltsp kernel source, though is listed in the
source from ftp.kernel.org )
I have worked all the instructions on how to build LBE
from source,
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/CompaqWintermLTSP
after compiling a kernel image, the initramfs script
is broken. ( see below )

No I cannot build LTSP from source.
Any pointers to documentation on how to build the
initramsfs stuff please.
