I have been going through a stack of ethernet cards getting them ready to be setup for iPXE boot, collecting pci ids and mac addresses, checking basic functionality, and making a list of eproms to order and I hit a snag when a 3c900b-fl is present and a driver for it is compiled into iPXE the system freezes. I believe the problem is the connector type forcing,as this is a 10 base fiber card and does not have other connectors. serial capture follows. mac addresses have been removed.
