<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi Brandon,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I tested iPXE with BCM5764m and it works fine for me even with 1G port on the Dell 6224 switch. I didn't test out all possible device configurations yet. We mainly focused our testing on BCM5719 devices.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Your problem might be due to the fact that management firmware is enabled on the your setup . I need to reproduce your problem in my environment and I need the configuration of your NIC.
