That's promising. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I ran into one tiny snag though.<br><br>We use three different images for chain loading depending on the hardware. We use undionly.kpxe, undionly.kkpxe, and r8169.kpxe. I successfully built the first two but I'm getting an "undefined symbol" error when attempting to build r8169. The actual card says it is an rtl8167. I'm curious what is the correct kpxe file to build and more importantly, how would I know that without bothering you guys the next time? I noticed there are several possible builds I can do (rtl8139, rtl8180, rtl8185); do any of these supersede r8169?<br>

</div>Use a version of iPXE more recent than July 8 2012. Several TCP performance<br>

256kB rather than 8kB.<br>
