Intel i350 dualport, mac mismatch

RE: Intel i350 dualport, mac mismatch
See http://pastebin.com/Bh1cNXfT for the cisco lacp debug.

At Oct 28 15:30:29 the switch is sending LACP-PDU (via Gi0/6) and it receives an answer. This does not happen with the original Intel PXE client. So it looks to me the iPXE is supporting port-channels (although on one interface but that isn't an issue).

Without the lacp replies, nothing is received by the dhcp server.


The screen shot at http://imagebin.org/275040 shows 2 network interfaces, port0 and port3.
Port3 is the internal (out of band) network interface and not suitable for booting over pxe.

I'ld expect 3 interfaces , 00:1e:67:85:06:fa and 00:1e:67:85:06:fb and the OOB interface.
iPXE doesn't select the internal/oob/port3 interface, but out of the two normal interfaces, it selects the one with the highest mac address, not quite what I would expect. A bit odd, but not a big issue.

It would be nice though, when it would use the lower numbered interface as this (the ..06:fa MAC) mac address will be used by the OS/Switch once the port-channel is up.
