Intel i350 dualport, mac mismatch
Hi, because of my network topology (802.3ad channel bonding) I need to sent LACP answers to my switch which iPXE is gladly doing for me.

This enables me to pxe-boot servers connected to port-channels.

However the hardware I'm using is based on i350 gigabit interfaces and iPXE is having some problems detecting the correct 'first' interface.
When running with intel debug, I do see the interfaces get enumerated ok, but iPXE selects the second interface, introducing extra administrative load (got to configure both mac addresses, adding an extra layer of potential human failure).

Is there any work on this issue? Or will this always be an issue with multi-port interfaces?
