[ipxe-devel] Issues with some Network Cards

[sujan karanjeet]

Hi Michael,

Thanks a lot for the quick response.

It's not totally stuck but it is very very slow and does not work. I can
reboot using the keyboard (warm boot) as well.
It can get through the Waiting phase after few hours but the similar thing
happens in the "Configuring" phase too.
I've left the system for about 4 hours now and it's still in the
"Configuring phase".

Waiting for link-up on net0.............. ok

I haven't seen any timeouts with an error message but it's waiting and
waiting forever.

Cheers,
Sujan
