Rob batting off my memory here but:
1. Wireless package plus PCMCIA card works but I do not have that
laptop now for digging out details.
2. Edit /etc/dhcpd.conf and fix IP for the laptop by seeing
/var/log/messages to get the MAC address of PCMCIA card when laptop
boots but hangs.
3. In the above edit the laptop section for allowing initial pxe boot.
Make sure the file name and paths are correct. The example lines in
dhcpd.conf may not be giving correct file+path.
