PXE Boot From Any Network Adapter

Currently, PXE booting does not work with all of the network adapters. It would be great if it did, as it would keep you from having to attach multiple network cards to a VM just to boot from PXE.

PXE is supported on (almost?) all the adapters in the PUEL version. The problem is, for the Intel adapters, they're using some Intel code which isn't GPL compatible, so it can't be bundled with the OSE release. The AMD adapters use etherboot, which is already GPL, so it can be shipped with OSE.
