DHCP timeout on reboot

[NiKiZe]

Just tried to emulate this and my result has a bit more output to it from ifstat.

My guess is when you do a reboot the nic is put into powersave mode which is not reset by ipxe.

just to be sure running dhcp multiple times makes no difference right?

What is the last thing running when doing reboot? windows, linux or anything else?

You could test with patching intel.c and add INTEL_NO_PHY_RST so the line related to your nic becomes:

Code:

PCI_ROM ( 0x8086, 0x1559, "i218v", "I218-V", INTEL_NO_PHY_RST ),
