[K12OSN] Compaq deskpro PXE error

[Randall Swift]

For my deskpro's I installed the Intel Boot agent software update for PCI
NICS from the following address:
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/Deskpro/us/locate/4_142.html and
that solved all my boot issues.
Of course this is only for PCI NICS.
