RE: List of NICs that are known to be flashable with iPXE
Thank you for your feedback, i actually have seen the card on amazon for just 8,99 EUR and thought this could be a cheap thinclient start method.

unfortunately i had a broadcom 14e4:1645 laying around waiting for me to be punished with g/ipxe code.
after switching from b57udiag to b57diag i was able to flash the card without destroying it.
Now my home pc (which has only this card in it ....) is able to boot tinycorelinux from my webserver establishing a sshfs connection to it and doing a full/delta wan backup of my harddrive every 30th boot (either every Month or on development days every hour Wink this is great.

in the last few days i went into a flashlust and tried every broadcom intel nic/lom i found.
with none but one success mentioned above.

i will try to flash an intel nic as soon as i get one that works.
stay tuned for my tutorial about how to create server side planned backups with php microcorelinux sshfs image4linux and ipxe Smile
