Hello Patrick,Thank you.I do not have a setup screen with this BIOS/uEFI. Its n
SOC on a board but not really a consumer PC type.I need to figure out a way to
setup the NIC, find something already written or write it myself. I am not sure
if a setup can be done after the actual uefi boot. think Setup on a computer is
really before the boot process.All the ifconfig commands give the same protocol
error.Any help?Jim S.

Jim,
Okay, that’s better.
So now I would suggest looking at the BIOS/UEFI setup screens for any hints
about enabling the network or
enabling network booting.
For example, I have a DELL 5810 Precision Tower that I am currently using for
UEFI testing. To enable the
network stack and PXE booting, I have to go to the config screen that shows the
onboard NIC config and
enable the Network stack and PXE booting. Not sure what the Insyde screens
show, but a quick google-foo
seems to show that PXE is enabled on the ‘Boot’ config. I would look for any
manual you might have for
configuring the BIOS/UEFI.
Now here is the problem. You can load the UNDI driver by copying it to your
EFI directory on boot device.
For most Linux systems, this is /boot/efi/EFI/<distro> (e.g.
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu or /boot/efi/EFI/centos).
Then start the EFI shell, and in that shell use the ‘load’ command to load the
UNDI driver, probably from
fs0:\EFI\<distro>\<driver>.efi, then exit the shell and back in the boot menu
you should be able to add
the new NIC. The assumption here is that when you exit the EFI shell you fall
back into the boot menu,
which is not the case on the DELL I am using.
If this doesn’t work, then I suggest first contacting the AMD SOC support or
the Insyde folks.
Good luck,
Patrick
