I'm having a problem booting the Clonezilla SE image. It keeps saying it can't find my network card. I've tried this with a bunch of different computers that have different NICs but none of them work.
I've tried RTL8167 and Broadcom 57XX.
I've tried DRBL stable and testing releases.
How have others solved this?

You could try this mode: http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-SE/
and use Clonezilla live 20130514-raring or 2.1.2-3 from testing release. They come with Linux kernel 3.8 so might support your hardware better.

Thanks for the reply. I was already using DRBL.
How do I select that particular release of clonezilla?
I tried the DRBL testing release and it gives the same error. It asks me to select a kernel to use for the clients and I have tried all of them including the 3.8 kernel.

The Note 3 describes:
If you want to replace another version of Clonezilla live, you can:
Download Clonezilla live (It must be version >= 1.2.5-15, 20100521-lucid). Here we take "clonezilla-live-20100921-lucid.iso" as an example.
After "clonezilla-live-20100921-lucid.iso" is downloaded, in the dir where "clonezilla-live-20100921-lucid.iso" exists, run: "drbl-ocs-live-prep -i clonezilla-live-20100921-lucid.iso", then the Clonezilla SE will use clonezilla-live 20100921-lucid as the OS of clients when running Clonezilla job.

However, now I get the problem where Clonezilla says it's trying to netboot but there is no route to host. I don't understand because it can access the DRBL server fine to find the proper Clonezilla image. Maybe I don't have the correct ports open?

Okay, it has to be ports. When I turn off my iptables completely (which I DO NOT want to do) it then gives me a mount call failed permission denied error.
Can you please tell me how to open my firewall properly as well as set the proper permissions?
Alternately, can I use something besides NFS? Samba maybe?

Are you sure it can connect to your DRBL server? If so, then it seems there is no need to tune some firewall rules. Unless you have configure firewall rules manually after you configure DRBL. I meant the DRBL installation (drblsrv -i and drblpush -i) should have taken care of that.

Yeah, it is the right server. I dislike that it blows away my entire firewall so I reconfigured it after running the DRBL installation.
This DRBL server also serves other things. The firewall is important to block unwanted open ports. You need a to come up with a better option than having a completely open firewall.

"You need a to come up with a better option than having a completely open firewall." -> Yes, that's true. However, users always have different requirement, especially on the firewall rules. This is very difficult to implement since too many choices. Therefore we give warning and let user to configure that,
