[ipxe-devel] bug report: 3c900b-fl freezes

[Ben Hildred]

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.

iPXE initialising devices...no connectors!warning: strange connector type
in EEPROM.
