FWIW, few of the cards I've bought over the years sport netboot. And, netboot is an impossibility in 'embedded' systems that use things like PCMCIA/CARDBUS, which are becoming common-place for embedded routers and such. Netboot (IMO) is an unacceptable solution to many folks. It seems that 'progress' in this case means removing alot of existing functionality that is used by a number of folks.
