Re: Support for kernel parameter NIC= in LTSP5 on Ubuntu?

I think the place to start would be here:
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#IPAPPEND_flag_val_.5BPXELINUX_only.5D

By using IPAPPEND 2 in pxelinux.cfg/default, pxelinux passes the boot
interface (= the one that requested a dhcp address) as a kernel
parameter (BOOTIF).
Then an init script can pick up the mac-address in BOOTIF, match it
against the list of available interfaces and select the correct one to
pass to ipconfig or whatever else is used.

I can't think of any reason why this shouldn't be default behavior (if
BOOTIF is defined, that is). Yup, I know, initrds etc are distro
specific... :(
