Some network cards have a socket for placing a PROM with such a BIOS. Many motherboards with builtin NICs also have such a BIOS which can be enabled in the CMOS setup. However, wireless network is a little bit more complex than wired lan. I don't know if there are any wireless cards which it is possible to boot from. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.

You can also use an external wireless bridge attached to a wired NIC in order to get PXE boot to work. -- Jon Biggar Floorboard Software jon(a)floorboard.com jon(a)biggar.org

What would be more flexble is to boot from a custom CD-R (which I configure on my other machine) that does the thing LiveCDs do (whatever that is) to make / on a RAMdisk. Or maybe a USB thumb drive. Or maybe an IDE-CF adapter, if it won't boot from USB. > You can also use an external wireless bridge attached to a wired NIC in > order to get PXE boot to work. That would work? Cool. How would I configure the bridge for the right SSID/password to use? -- -eben QebWenE01R(a)vTerYizUonI.nOetP royalty.mine.nu:81 If you need someone to blame Throw a rock in the air You'll hit someone guilty -- U2, _Zooropa_, "Dirty Day" |
