While it doesnt happen often anymore.. I found that some BIOS's disable
some hardware 'softly'. You could disable it and Windows wouldnt find
it.. but Linux would.. [and depending on how the system disabled it..]
could get it to work [or not]

I would recommend the 3c905 driver also.. it may have enough of the
smarts in the box to do PXE.
