Sorry I have not got around to it yet. I also have pro/1000 XT adapters as well I could try. I was looking at the pro/100 adapters and I noticed I had one with a removable flash chip, looks like I only have one, I think. I will get back when I get a bit of time to give it a go. If there is something you want me to test let me know.
Intel® PRO/100+ Adapter For those keeping score, the Intel® PRO/100+ Adapter works just fine with this method. They're available in 10-packs at $25US ($2.50US ea) from Ebay. Since the gigabit cards are $35 shipped, this seems like a pretty good deal.
Hi i have been trying to select a suitable adapter the first one i got has no flash on board, i have seen this also, in the pictures on uk ebay it seems the flash rom socket is empty, i have done some research and it seems the intel pro 1000 versions only have the onboard flash, such as the ones listed in post no 1. I have ordered the intel pro 1000 mt desktop card, and should get it in a few days and i will try again this method.
@ truthinjection I have a Mobo Intel DX58SO, with only one PCI slot and an Intel Pro/100+ Management Adapter NIC card (Vendor ID: 8086 and Device ID: 1229) I want to test it, but my PC don't have linux installed. How can I get the info needed? Can I run linux without install it in my Pc? EDIT 1: OK. I'm google and search for Ubuntu. Now, downloading it to burn a liveCD and run #sudo lspci -nn > lspci.output.txt to get the info.

@Serxavi Good job on the lspci. I found the Intel datasheets concerning the i7 processor and x58 chipset. Intel has moved the needed registers around (they're part of the i7 processor itself now, it looks like). I'm trying to figure out how to address them. Probably the best thing for you to do is try to get a USB flash drive and set it up so that it boots to DOS (there should be tutorials out on the web somewhere). I'm writing a DOS utility to try and scan the needed PCI bus registers, but it will take me a while to get that working. The new devices are apparently on PCI bus 0xFF. I'm not sure if this will work, but try booting your Ubuntu with the added parameter: pci=lastbus=255 and repeat the lspci and see if it shows anything additional. Thanks, -tij-

Almost all of the Pro/100 S adapters I see on ebay (except dual-port ones) have ROMs on them, but Intel has probably made lots of different variants of the same card. If it doesn't have a ROM, there's not really a lot you can do. If it has an empty socket, you could theoretically put one in there, but I'm not sure where you'd get a chip for it. The Pro/1000MT card you ordered should be good, though. The ROM on the Pro/1000MT is a tiny serial EEPROM. Thus, it's impossible to tell from a blurry picture with the Pro/1000MT cards, but I bought several totally-vanilla Pro/1000MTs a long time ago, and they all had the ROM on them.. -tij-
I had a go at making the file ready for the pro 1000 mt card by following post 1, what slic type is inserted in the added slic file,
@ truthinjection Don't worry. I have time to wait for your job. My system is working with a DAZ loader. I got a USB flash drive to boot to DOS.

Yes. I tried them using the instructions and files at first post. They worked (inserting SLIC 2.1) only with an older PCChips M810D mobo. I need them working with Intel DX58SO and D865PERL but they don't. Thus, i'm waiting for the truthinjection job.
Hi, thanks for letting me know, since i wanted to try it out but the first adapter i got says no flash present and i have ordered another one, by the way can u remember which slic type was present and which certificate you had to use to activate, thanks
WindSLIC test (alpha1) for Intel D865PERL motherboard ONLY Ok, I'm still not happy with the level of development of my code, but since that motherboard is right in the sweet spot of chipsets my code seems to work with, here's a rom to try with your 8086:1229 Intel NIC: !!!Alpha Test1! ONLY FOR Intel D865PERL / Intel 8086:1229 network card!!! EDIT: Removed, since it did not work. (sigh) !!!Alpha Test1! ONLY FOR Intel D865PERL / Intel 8086:1229 network card!!! Burn that and let me know the results. [Note: Make sure "WindSLIC" is set as the highest-priority boot device (same concept as when using the older code and "SLIC Mod").] I don't know if it will work, but if it boots the machine without hanging/rebooting when the WindSLIC is set as boot-device, then maybe it works I'll be happy if it does. The SLIC is a DELL QA09, by the way. Good luck! -tij-
Cool, if it hangs, you can probably reboot and press F5 during boot to cause it to bypass its initialization, which should let you flash back to the Intel PXE code. Good luck, -tij-
Looks like the same one just mentioned. Dell is a good favorite manufacturer because they make both Desktops and Servers, so they deal with Windows 7 and Windows 2008. -tij-
