that is similar to what I do. I have kickstarted a lab with old computers using various ISA and realtek ethernet cards. I did roll my own boot image including the drivers for different cards but in the end it was easier to use the driver disk to cover more cards. With the driver disk you can network kickstart just about any PCI ethernet card easily. ISA still can be a pain.
