ipxe wireless
Hai,
Could you help me? I was trying to boot wireless with ipxe. I have a small foot print xp of 150 mb which I currently boot using iscsi vhd and ipxe in ram. Plz let know the WiFi land card supported by ipxe by default. As I am not expert, cannot add driver as ipxe webpage instructs. Simply want to add ipxe supported WiFi card and boot easily.

Some website says bios should support and Capable of providing usb to lan dongle as boot device. And ipxe people say it doesnt have USB support.

Can I boot ipxe with pen drive and try to detect the WiFi card. Is it possible? Will it detect?

Supported wireless cards plz...

You can try booting http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.usb as a USB key image. Note that this is a raw disk image: you need to use dd or rawrite.exe or similar to transfer it to the USB key, and it will erase all existing data on the USB key.

iPXE does now have support for several wired USB NICs.
