Adding Marty on CC, as he's the one who ported the driver. I suspect this was simply a case of overzealous feature removal (as most of the e1000e's features are unnecessary in gPXE); might it be possible instead to remove the need to check for management mode? -- Josh _______________________________________________ gPXE-devel mailing list [email protected] http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe-devel
