Found it at http://ark.intel.com/products/52501/Intel-EG20T-PCH

The register map appears to be substantially different to that for e1000/e1000e/igb; the existing iPXE "intel" driver will not be able to drive this NIC.

I apply this patch to gPXE,and it works well.
http://etherboot.org/pipermail/gpxe/2012...01833.html

And I tried to apply the patch to iPXE,some errors were reported when making the image,after I made the errors gone,iPXE could detect my NIC,but still came with some errors,and after about a half minute the network disconnected.I reboot and the same thing came.

Maybe the API is quite different between gPXE and iPXE.
So could iPXE do some improvment on the patch above and make my NIC work well with the fantastic iPXE?

By the way, I am glad to be a tester for this enhancement of iPXE.

Thanks.
