llo,

this is my first posting. Since monday I work at a school where they have a pc-pool with 20 hosts. These hosts are connected via wireless only 
and have all the same NIC. The headmaster does not wish the computers to be connected via wired network. I booted one of them from 
sysrescCD and did 

lspci -vv

here is the relevant output.

I also have booted ipxe from CD and have tried iwstat, but no interfaces were listet. Is there a way to get ipxe over wireless working? To me it 
looks as if there is some space (or what does Region 0, Region 1 mean?)

i should add there is also a wired onboard NIC in every host. here is what lspci -vv said about one of them
