[ipxe-devel] iPXE Usage with 10GbE HBA

Hello-

I have a Intel S5500WBV server with an Intel X520-DA2 add-in 10GbE HBA.  When I boot iPXE from USB key I can see the two onboard 1GbE interfaces off the 82576 controller but I don't see the interfaces off the 10GbE HBA.  Should I be able to use those interfaces from iPXE?  Does it require any special setup in BIOS or HBA OpROM or iPXE itself?  Any reason the HBA would not be showing up in iPXE?  I would like to initiate an iSCSI boot over the 10GbE HBA.

I also have a secondary question, more of a curiosity.  If I boot iPXE from USB key I see both onboard 1GbE interfaces in iPXE.  If I boot iPXE using BIOS PXE boot instead of USB key I only see one of the onboard interfaces available.  Is this expected behavior?

Thanks,
Joe
