That's not trivial, because it involves either 1.) recompiling a LTSP-
ifyed kernel for the thin clients or 2.) making a new initrd for the
thin clients.  If you choose 2.), then you would be wise to use the same
kernel revision as the LTSP-ifyed kernel.  Can you use a supported NIC
in your thin client?  Realtek-based 10/100 cards are supported well and
cost maybe US$5.  Even 3Com 3C905's can be had for US$10.
