PXE is a hardware standard, so you'll just need a card that supports it and has drivers included in the RH 7.2 kernel.

Intel and 3Com have been selling cards with PXE support for a long time, and you can check the Red Hat HCL for specific models that Red Hat 7.2 (Enterprise 2.1) supports.

Hi, thanks for your help, but i have an another solution.

I have compiled driver BCM5700-xxx.rpm with kernel 2.4.10BOOTxxxx.rpm after install with rpm -ivh and
i have make driver bcm5700.o with rpm -bb xxxx, etc..
ModProbe has ok with the driver and the network card work fine.

BCM = Broadcom -> www.broadcom.com,
Bye.
