I am considering using some inexpensive mother boards as part of a cluster project. These boards (ECS K7AMA) use the RealTek 8139C LAN chip on board the motherboard. They claim it supports "Lan card wake-up" . I have seen some Linux drivers for this chip on the Scyld site. My questions are: Is it possible to do a diskless boot without a floppy? I would prefer a etherboot from another system. Do you know it you have to burn an EPROM and do these integrated Lan cards even support EPROM's? Thanks, Jim Fraser
