There's a number of ways to do it.  I've been using the recipe
found here:

   http://metrix.net/support/pxeboot/

You have to have to set up your IP address, DHCP, and TFTP as shown.  Then 
you run an http server (I use thttp) to serve the raw image.  The 4526 
will PXE boot then wget the raw image from the webserver and reboot 
without intervention, other than <Ctrl>-P and 'boot f0' from the system 
BIOS to PXE boot.

The 0.5.5 image here should work (need to gunzip first for the process 
above): http://www.cuwireless.net/downloads/release-0.5.5.html#bin-net4526

Aside:  Are there enough potential testers to justify a "nightly" binary 
release of the trunk?
