[Yixuan Huang]

Hello Jarron,
I have tested today with your patch, and build snponly.efi, but it seems
not recognized my nics.
>>>
xCAT Network Boot Agent
iPXE 1.0.3-130715(f411d) -- Open source ..
Features: HTTP HTTPS iSCSI DNS TFTP EFI
No more network devices
xNBA initialising devices... ok



Thanks,
yixuan
