I'm not sure where you are looking. I have a git tree from here: git://git.etherboot.org/scm/gpxe.git The gpxe source file src/drivers/net/prism2_pci.c claims to support PCI ID 1260:3873 which is listed as a prism 2.5 device supported by drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_pci.c in the linux tree. Similarly the gpxe src/drivers/net/prism2_plx.c claims to support all of the PCI IDs listed in drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_plx.c from the linux tree as well as one that is not listed there (126c:8030 -- perhaps we should add it?). As I said, I do not have _any_ pci-based prism2-3 hardware (donations welcome!), so I can not verify whether or not the gpxe code (or for that matter the linux code) actually works -- YMMV. I'm just going by what information I have. John -- John W.
