I tried a  DLINK PCI card. with DEC chipset and tulipclone  It runs but my card
has different Vendor and Device  ID than the
default  contained  in Etherboot. Please have a lock.

Normally I use ..C256  eprom.. But I alwasy burn the 16k  rom images twice into
the  32k Eproms.
Try to burn the code 4th to the  ..c512 eprom.  You never know what the hardware
do.
But Vendor-ID and Device-ID must be set correct.
If you have any old ISA-card with  eprom socket  you can try to put it in there
to confirm thar your Eprom is
OK.   It seems PCI-Roms in ISA-cards run without checking the  ID's .
