[ipxe-devel] No network with undionly.kpxe (hp 2570p, 8470p, 8570p, NIC 82579LM)

>From your packet trace (thanks!), it looks like you are doing: BIOS ->
Native PXE -> PXELINUX (what version?) -> pxelinux.cfg/default -> msg.txt ->
pxechn.c32 -> new.undionly.kpxe

 

Is that right?

 

If so, instead, please try: BIOS -> Native PXE -> new.undionly.kpxe

 

Your ISC DHCP magic is not working, because the client is booting PXELINUX
instead of iPXE.

Hi!

 

I have trouble getting network with iPXE on some brand new HP laptops
(2570p, 8470p, 8570p)


They all uses the same nic.

 

lspci -nn
00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit
Network Connection [8086:1502] (rev 04)

 

In my lab-test environment i use this config: 

 

linux ISC dhcp3-server:

if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" {
       filename " <http://my.web.server/real_boot_script.php>
http://my.web.server/real_boot_script.php";
} else {
       filename "undionly.kpxe";
}

Packet trace:
http://pastebin.com/bqzs3Etj
192.168.2.250 Windows DHCP server
192.168.2.102 Linux tftp-server
192.168.2.52 hp 2570p

ifstat after timed out:
net0 using undionly on UNDI-PCI00:19:0 (closed)
[Link:up, TX:4 TXE:0 RX:0 RXE:0]

Looks to me that network is not working at all on this Intel 82579LM NIC
with undionly.kpxe.
ipxe.pxe (same source) however is working, but then my HP z400 stops
working.

lspci -nn on Z400
01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5764M
Gigabit Ethernet PCIe [14e4:1684] (rev 10)

Anyone got any ideas why I have these problems with iPXE undionly.kpxe?
