[ipxe-devel] [gPXE] how to use gpxe w/o dhcp

[Yixuan Huang]

Hello Guys,
I am facing a new issue. I want to post new message. However, just record
here either. ipxe seems has no driver for broadcom (14e4:163a), which
should be bcm5709s series. I tested it on IBM HS22V.

I used gpxe, it can show that interface.

Thanks,
yixuan
