[ipxe-devel] Recent tg3 driver commits still fail on gigabit (me too)

[Michael Zhou]

Hi,

When booting with ipxe.usb on gigabit network, i found that:

 Client PC can not get IP address by "dhcp net0", but if set IP address to
net0 by "config net0", and ping the IP address, i got response.

 I tried ping the IP address by format of "ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -l N", with
size N, when N is bigger than 210, no response from client.

 Hope this is helpful for fix the issue.
