Hi,

I have an ASUS A7N8X-X motherboard that comes with the nVidia MCP network card.
The machines (about 10) will be a part of a mini cluster and they'll be diskless. I'm trying to setup the boot via PXE and I think I'm getting stuck because the network driver is not part of the kernel but a module.
Is there a way to 'build' the driver into the kernel?

Thanks!
