You can get an etherboot image at <http://rom-o-matic.net>. I have a 
boot image that supports all pci cards, if that would be more convenient 
to you. Edubuntu will need to support etherboot, etherboot is superior 
to PXE and it is free software, and should be our boot-protocol of choice.

I've uploaded the etherboot disk image to:
http://www.skubuntu.org.za/etherboot-pci.zdsk

All you need to do is dd or cat it to /dev/fd0 and boot up.

If you insist on having a card with boot prom, I'll send one from South 
Africa as soon as I get back. We just have to have etherboot support!
