By enabling the PXE ROM, do you mean to enable tg3 NIC for PXE boot in BIOS? I have enabled it ( i am able to do gpxe boot on this), but stil. Also how do you find out the what Netboot agent version the card has?? ( during gpxe boot, it says HP UNDI PXE-2.1 v10.4.6 -> is this the netboot agent version? )<br>

<div><p class="MsoNormal">Neither of these cards have a native driver for iPXE. There is a tg3 and bnx2 driver but they don't support these cards. Your best bet is to enable the PXE ROM on the 14e4:1678 card and let iPXE use the UNDI driver provided by Broadcom. If the bnx2 card has Netboot Agent 6.0.11, which it probably will, you will not be able to use the UNDI driver on that card as it is also incompatible with iPXE.<u></u><u></u></p>
