[ipxe-devel] problem realtek RTL8168/8111 PCIe GBE Family controller

[Arkoth]

I use VMware® Workstation 9.0.0 build-812388 with Windows 7 64bits Pro: no
problem, it's fast... and it works

My problem:
On the same PC, whithout moving/network cabling... the motherboard (MSI
MS-7681 P67A-GD55) is configured to boot on network
=> it use "Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 083)"
then with the dhcp it get my filename ipxe.kkpxe (tftp) and the log is :
http://pastebin.com/ptxRjyS7
"it sounds physical" : my network work without problem, just iPXE don't go
fast (10Mbps instead of 1000Mbps)
"it's in how iPXE may treat the NIC differently than your real OS", I think
like you, if I can give you more information, tell me

example: to download the winpe3.iso (140mo) it take 2mn and 39seconds

Thank you for your help
