Well I am no expert on this but I can tell you what I know. PXE stands for Pre-boot eXecution Environment and is to do with booting off the LAN. You would of course have to enable this option in the BIOS.

Hmmmm! in a way this comes back to what forumjoe was 'asking' about how the LAN port(s) behave during bootup ~ must go read up that section about the BIOS  Just a pity that the narrative on the download page is so brief and without qualification :(
