For remote installation with PXE, a network driver for the Emulex adapter must be part
of the client's installation image on the server. Your current Linux distribution may or
may not include network drivers for Emulex adapters. If they do, the driver may need
to be added to your operating system’s installation image, or added during installation.
See your appropriate distribution's documentation for instructions on how to add
drivers during installation.

Note: If you are using Dell adapters, refer to appendix G., “Configuring PXE Boot for
