DHCP failure with Intel I219-V

[mgperkow]

Forgive me, I feel Iike I'm out of my element in this venue, perhaps. I'm trying to interact as successfully as I can...

The checklist on http://ipxe.org/040ee119? Let me see...

- I am using the latest revision (HEAD from the git repository). Or does it mean to try the latest RELEASED version?

- I think the developers read these posts, right? Or should I contact them via another means?

- I will recheck the error page regularly in case it is updated.

- I don't think it's a timeout on the part of the DHCP server. If I reboot to an installed OS or boot from a USB drive without changing anything, DHCP succeeds immediately.

- I am not using IPv6.

- I have run an ifstat after the failures. The RX and RXE counters are both 0.

- I can try ifconf for DHCP explicitly if you wish, but that's the only method that would succeed anyway on this particular network if any did (no IPv6, as I mentioned).

- I am not chainloading undionly.kpxe (using ipxe.lkrn).

- I am using a Cisco switch, and portfast is enabled.
