Well, I'm kind of a newbie at this... but I'll take a stab at it
:)  Bash me if I'm way off!! :)


One file you may need to edit if your machines have older
ethernet cards is
/etc/dhcpd.conf

A sample change/addition would be something like this:

host ws005 {
hardware ethernet 00:A0:24:6E:2B:62;
option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;
option option-129 "NIC=3c509";
}

The HOST ws005 would change to the next number in the list.
The HARDWARE ETHERNET is the MAC address of the actual card....
You have to know that. Booting up a boot disk that you created
earlier will show you the MAC address as it starts to load. (If
you need to edit this line, you will know it because the boot up
disk won't complete.)
The option-128 line DOES NOT CHANGE !!!
The option-129 line changes to YOUR ETHERNET CARD name.

You should also check out the settings in the
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf file.
This file contains settings for local hardware and default
printer/video/sound settings. Sample settings are shown there.
