We need a patch that addresses the issues that the previous patch had. I'll try to put one together later today. It would be great if you can test it. There are two key tests for a driver: 1. The regular gPXE boot including DHCP and TFTP or HTTP. A SAN boot would work well, too. 2. gPXE as a PXE stack loading undionly.kpxe, which uses the UNDI interface and interrupts. This configuration reveals issues with interrupts that are not exposed during normal operation (gPXE normally doesn't use interrupts so they might be broken and most users would not notice it). I've CCed Daniel and Joshua who worked on the original patch and the driver, too.
