Boot from LAN using Wireless Adapter

I have one Cisco Wireless PCI Adapter. Does it have a feature like PXE BootROM in NIC, so I can boot from LAN using wireless adapter?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. At issue would be the necessary setup for things like SSID.

Maybe in the future; many motherboards & chipsets are including Wireless NICs, they would need to provide some setup in the BIOS to configure the basic communication parameters necessary to establish the Layer one / Layer two link.

Good Luck

Hi Scott,

Thank you very much.

Your machine can boot using the Wireless PCI adapter as long it is already configured for your wireless network. Give it a try.

Hi csannedhi,

Could you give me more details about that? I know some laptops can do. But ScottMac said that desktops could not.

Thanks,
