Problem with Intel Pro/VE

[dlb99]

Hello NiKiZe,

I have an ISO on CDs with an embedded script that gets a DHCP address and then chains a second wimboot based script via http. Will try your suggestion at some point too, but for the moment I got it working to a degree by adding my cards PCI ID to the eepro100 driver. Apparently Intel has a large number of PCI IDs floating around for these NICs because they were OEM products sold to many.

The addition of the PCI ID and recompile works to a degree, but occasionally ipxe just locks up. I still had not worked out the scripts for our use of wimboot and the other parts. I figured thos out today under a VM and will try them on the old clunkers soon.. They seem to execute a few commands and then lock up if you leave them at the shell prompt for a while. I am hoping that if I have all the scripts and files in operational state it will get as far as Wimboot and then work.. Hoping anyway !
