client with dlink 220 NIC

[Hilaire Fernandes <cddp40.tice@ac-bordeaux.fr>]

Hello, 

I try to boot a client with a Dlink220P ISA net card (I have plenty).

So far I use the etherboot image: eb-5.2.0-ne.zdsk from rom-o-matic

The NIC is not in plug & play mode, its IO is 0x300 (I check that with
the Dlink setup tool)

Within dhcp it is configured as:

---
                host ltsp010 {
                        hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
                        fixed-address ltsp010;
                        filename "/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1";
                        option option-128 00:80:C8:6C:57:5B;
                        option option-129 "NIC=ne IO=0x300";
                       }
----

The NIC is recognized by the etherboot image, the kernel is loaded by
tftp. However the kernel panics and it claims it can not detect any NIC.
It looks like the option-129 is not passed to the kernel, however I
cannot scroll up to see how the kernel is loaded.

I am using pre3

Is there anything else I should take care of in the dhcp's conf file?

Thanks

Hilaire
