SYMPTOMS
The new 3COM 3C509 adapter has a new addressing scheme that requires you create a new remoteboot configuration. The older 3C509 adapters have a VendorName=00608C, and the newer 3C509 adapters have a VendorName=0020AF. If you try to boot the newer adapter with the old configuration, the following error message appears:

unknown client network adapter id



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, create a new remoteboot configuration as outlined in the Windows NT Server Installation Guide on pages 139-140. Follow the documented steps and add the new 6-digit prefix 0020AF to the VendorName parameter.
