The packet drivers are part of the install software for DOS/Windows
(http://www.networks.digital.com/dr/nics/drivers/e3kit250.zip). 

Is there any likelyhood of etherboot supporting this card. It seems to
work better than netboot for me. (It supports DHCP and the name
nominated in the bootptab, netboot ends up with the IP address as the
name). 
I have about 100 old DEC LPV's with these cards which I would like to
use as LTSP clients.
