Hi Stephen, Have your system have DpcDxe driver dispatched already? If not, you may have a try by loading DpcDxe.efi before SnpDxe.efi. Network drivers consume QueueDpc/DispatchDpc which require gEfiDpcProtocolGuid installed.

The "UEFI Network Stack for EDK Getting Started Guide.pdf" demonstrates how to add networking to the NT32 environment. Is this still valid for the EDK2? Also, could it work on a real system? For example, I have an Intel Gigabit CT Desktop PCIe card that has a UEFI UNDI driver loaded in its Option Rom. This option rom is loaded by my ASUS Q87-E motherboard during boot. When I type "drivers" in the uefi 2.0 shell I can see that the driver is loaded. 15B 06041300 B Y Y 2 2 <null string> PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1c,0x4)/Pci(0x0,0x0) ... Next, I try to load the tcp dxe drivers in a manner similar to the "Getting Started Guide." The shell hangs after loading SnpDxe.efi driver. It doesn't load any of the other DXEs. load SnpDxe.efi MnpDxe.efi ArpDxe.efi Ip4Dxe.efi Ip4ConfigDxe.efi load Udp4Dxe.efi Dhcp4Dxe.efi Mtftp4Dxe.efi Tcp4Dxe.efi Does anyone have a guide on how to add any kind of networking device to an existing system? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Stephen P.S. - I know that I can enable the "Network Stack" on boards with an embedded ethernet controller. I want to know how to do it to a system without networking support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
