Netboot with large packet driver (RTL8139)



Hello NETBOOTers,

I want to boot some diskless clients with Longshine
network cards (Realtek RTL8139 chip). After a first
look at etherboot Markus Gutschke pointed me to 
netboot and the use of a packet driver.

Realtek (www.realtek.com.tw) supplies a packet driver,
but this one unfortunately has a size of 56k. Combined
with the netboot part this is more than 64k and thus
will not work in the netboot standard setup.

Can anybody on this list suggest a solution?

Thanks,

Thomas Wuensche
