(Redirecting to ipxe-devel; please upgrade to iPXE.)

You can append additional modules to the make target.  For example, if you 
normally build your ROM using

  make bin/10b79005.rom

then you can add a tg3 driver using

  make bin/10b79005--tg3.rom

Note that the first device specified in the list (10b79005 in this case) must 
have the correct PCI IDs for the card that physically hosts the ROM.
