Is that really what you meant to say? Of course, there are a bunch of ISA NICs 
supported by Etherboot (the following spring to mind: ne2k, 3c509, eepro, 
cs89x0, wd80x3, ...), but I am not sure if any one of them tries to do DMA. 
(Programmed-I/O is just so much easier for Etherboot) Is that what you were 
commenting on?
