[K12OSN] optiplex 745 cannot detect network card

[Bruce Anderson]

The district has given us a Dell Optiplex 745 to try.

It displays ERROR! Could not automatically detect the network card.
I think the NIC is a Broadcom 5754 Gigabit Ethernet LAN solution
10/100/1000.
I think the driver is tg3 which appears in /etc/niclist for /lts/pxe/initrd-
2.6.9-ltsp-3.gz

What is wrong and how do I fix it?
