You can test the new patch easily by creating an image using the following ROM-o-matic: http://etherboot.org/share/stefanha/forcedeth/contrib/rom-o-matic/ If you want to build from sources, you can clone the branch using: $ git clone -b forcedeth_new git://git.etherboot.org/scm/people/andreif/gpxe.git Thanks to everyone who has tested and debugged the driver so far! -- Andrei Faur _______________________________________________ gPXE-devel mailing list [email protected] http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe-devel
