Hi, I am currently testing his code now, but I currently have compile issues when I try to turn on debugging. Regarding iSCSI - i have a fair bit of experience there. I have a gpxe/pxe/tftpboot/iscsi implementation currently working with Ubuntu. Check out etherboot.org for my iscsi recipe. :-)
Do you happen to know why I get this error: $ make bin/tg3_main.usb DEBUG=tg3_main:3,tg3_hw,tg3_phy [BUILD] bin/usbdisk.o [OBJCOPY] bin/usbdisk.bin make: *** No rule to make target `bin/tg3_main.dbg3.o', needed by `bin/blib.a'.
