Also, which git commit of iPXE are you using?

Has been a while so I don't remember all the details anymore. But from what we discussed in the FOG forums here (valuable information on the most current pages 1-3) I am pretty sure that we always used ipxe.efi - actually I think it was the same binary which works on Fujitsu ESPRIMO P910 E85+ but causes the issue on DELL OptiPlex 7010 both having the "same" NIC.

As well interesting is that using intel.efi didn't work on the OptiPlex either. Compiled with DEBUG=intel,netdevice,device,pci it hanged on "iPXE initialising devices...Adding EFI root bus". That's it, nothing more.

We used current git version from that date - which was around the 19th of November 2015. Sorry but I cannot say for sure which commit this was. Maybe 309c58824fc75a931cf3c25268abdb35870ce8f0 but I cannot tell for sure.

Sorry about the ragged and missing information. There were too many other things happening and we just didn't get to follow a clean path to test this. But I know almost for sure that we tested the same ipxe.efi binary on both machines (same NIC, UEFI enabled). So I am wondering if anyone else has tried ipxe UEFI boot with Intel 82579LM NICs?
