[gPXE] Use etherboot with very old laptop

[Quinn Plattel]

PCMCIA will never work until somebody develops code for it - there is just
no support at all right now in GPXE for that - not even for USB network
devices - believe me, I have tried.

I think you will be better off using PLOP Boot Manager - it lets you boot
from USB devices on old PC's - even through PCMCIA USB cards.
