Here are the docs for a typical inexpensive 1000baseT card: ftp://ftp10.dlink.com/pdfs/products/DGE-530T/DGE-530T_ds.pdf There is no empty socket on it for a boot rom, yet the specs say nothing about whether or not it will PXE boot. Let's turn this question around a bit. Can anyone suggest a specific inexpensive 1000baseT card which provides PXE and is otherwise reliable and fast? That is, one that you have personally used to boot a machine into your cluster. Similarly, the names of any models that should be avoided would also be useful information.
