cheap pxe enabled ethernet adapters

["Richard C Ferri" <rcferri@us.ibm.com>]

Hi everyone,
     I'm looking for a reasonably priced ethernet adapter that is pxe
enabled for network boot.  I have to buy about a dozen of them for my lab,
so cost is an issue.  I have an eepro100 (etherjet) adpater which PXE boots
nicely,  but the going price is about $75USD per adapter, and that's
expensive.  Can anyone suggest a cheaper adapter?  I don't quite understand
the disparity between the typical PCI ethernet adapter which is about
$15USD, and the eepro100, which is 5 times more expensive...   from what I
understand the PXE elemet is only a couple of dollars more...

     Anyway, I'd appreciate any suggestions for a reasonably priced pxe
enabled ethernet adapter... thanks in advance.
