Re: network boot

Intel Pro 1000 MT
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1076
vendor 8086
device 1076

PCI VENDOR CODE:  8086    PCI DEVICE CODE:  1076
I just successfully got a bootrom from rom o matic for the wired
adaptor so it should be supported. Whats the name of the file you
downloaded off of rom-o-matic?

Intel Pro/wireless 2915abg
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4223&SUBSYS_10008086&REV_05
Vendor ID 8086 and the device ID is 4223
so vendor:device is 8086:4223
