Hi!

I have trouble getting network with iPXE on some brand new HP laptops
(2570p, 8470p, 8570p)

They all uses the same nic.

*lspci -nn*
*00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit
Network Connection [8086:1502] (rev 04)*
**
In my lab-test environment i use this config:

*linux ISC dhcp3-server*:

*if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" {
       filename
"**http://my.web.server/real_boot_script.php*<http://my.web.server/real_boot_script.php>
*";
} else {
       filename "undionly.kpxe";
}*

*Packet trace:*
http://pastebin.com/bqzs3Etj
192.168.2.250 Windows DHCP server
192.168.2.102 Linux tftp-server
192.168.2.52 hp 2570p

*ifstat after timed out:*
*net0 using undionly on UNDI-PCI00:19:0 (closed)
[Link:up, TX:4 TXE:0 RX:0 RXE:0]*

Looks to me that network is not working at all on this Intel 82579LM NIC
with undionly.kpxe.
ipxe.pxe (same source) however is working, but then my HP z400 stops
working.
*lspci -nn on Z400*
*01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme
BCM5764M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe [14e4:1684] (rev 10)*

Anyone got any ideas why I have these problems with iPXE undionly.kpxe?
