Hi Folks,

We are contemplating Woodcrest systems with Blackford VS chipsets.  The
board we have been offered has an Intel 82563EB dual gigabit NIC
onboard.  I can't find any definitive statements (using Google) saying
that this chip works with SL3/SL4 (or RHEL 3 or RHEL 4) out-of-the-box
from PXE/kickstart - has anyone got such a system running from a
PXE/kickstart install without providing a newer e1000 driver?  If so,
what Update of SL 3/4 did you use?

Thanks, 
	Martin
