Etherboot does not support plug-in packet drivers. It requires
individual customized drivers for different NIC architectures. It does
autoprobing for all of the supported cards. The most recent version
comes with support for PCI based NE2k clones. Maybe, you should just
give it a try and see if it works for you. We would be glad to hear
any success (or bug) reports.
