Well I suppose it's not supported with my card (Acer manufacturer). The
BIOS had an option to boot from the LAN (this is only for WOL though
right?) but that was the only thing that looked relevant in this
scenario. There's no ROM BIOS output from the card on boot up either so
I guess I'm SOL. Just have to upgrade I think..
