Finding DOS drivers for NICs is a hassle with Symantec Ghost, too.
1. put in a "good" NIC
2. try universal Network boot. http://www.netbootdisk.com/

Michael,
We do all our Gateway's with Zenworks imaging. The main issue is what
kind of network card is in the computer. Zenworks works best with Intel
and Broadcom cards. We tested all the Gateways we bought prior to
purchase to make sure that they work with Zenworks. The driver has to
be installed on the zenworks server. If there is not a driver available
from Novell for the kind you have you will not have success so you have
to make sure it is a compatible nic.

Does anyone have any insight on getting Gateway/MPC machines working
with ZENworks Imaging?

Doug,
We are switching from Gateway/MPC to HP this summer. I can comment more
on their performance in a few months. So far we like what we have
gotten for demos and have been able to make them work with novell
zenworks imaging and the price is less.
I've noted that St. Michael's College is making the same transition on
their school computers as well.
