| Additional notes
| 
| (Please edit this page to include any of your own useful hints and tips

| 
| This error indicates that a packet was received for an unsupported
| network-layer protocol. This error is generally harmless. For example,
| received IPv6 packets may trigger this error, if your build of iPXE is
| compiled without IPv6 support.

Now that I have seen the additional notes,
I revoke my hint towards the myri10ge driver.

Still looking forward to a follow-up on the thread,
such as a simple "with including FOO support is the 3c0860 gone".
