thanks a lot Juanito, i found this -> http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=18469.0
and now i not going the tinycoreway cause the machine has no internet access in this state,
i download the http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/tcz/i2c-4.19.10-tinycore.tcz, extracted core.gz
created /mnt/tce/optional and put into the optional directory the file "i2c-4.19.10-tinycore.tcz".
then rebuild the core.gz
After Tinycore hase booted successfull from PXE-Boot. i do "tce-load -i /mnt/tce/optional/i2c-4.19.10-tinycore.tcz"
and then sudo modprobe igb... now the networkcard works :-)

thanks a lot
