netboot with intel eepro100 card



Hello Everybody,-

I am new to this subject and mailing list. 
So, please forgive me if I ask something trivial and/or 
write something completely wrong.

The situation is, that I have a couple of diskless Pentium II PCs.
Currently I am booting them from a boot/root floppy, but I would 
in fact like to boot them completely diskless. So my attention
fell on netboot-0.7.2. 

I am confused over the packet driver stuff. I tried the intel driver
diskette, and found something called e100bodi.com. I thought that
might be the right thing. (Can anybodi explain me, what is an ODI
driver?). Perhaps it is... But it is 64k big, so I do not manage to 
pack it into the image.flo file using the 'make bootrom' command.

So, I looked around for something else. In the "Crynwr" packet driver
collection (pktd11.zip) which I came across, I find something called 
EXP16.COM. It is dated Nov 22 1993. 

I somehow doubt that this can be a good driver to use for my 
PCI EtherExpress PRO/100+. 

Is there anybody out there with experience with this card?

Regards, 
-Mogens
