[ipxe-devel] Chainload WDS/SCCM2012 server, with hp8570w and undionly.kpxe, WinPE freezing...

Great!
We have a lot of these nics in our inventory database ("VVVVDDDD" facts in puppetboard) but not all of them.

I'll try to test as many as I can :-)

Applied; thanks!

A quick check against the Linux driver source shows that all three of the IDs for which we've currently had to set INTEL_NO_PHY_RST belong to the e1000e Linux driver and use one of the board_pch* board types.

If anyone has any of the other board_pch* NICs:

         8086:10ea
         8086:10eb
         8086:10ef
         8086:10f0
         8086:1503
         8086:153b
         8086:1559
         8086:155a
         8086:156f
         8086:1570
         8086:15a0
         8086:15a1
         8086:15a2
         8086:15b7
         8086:15b8

then it would be great to know if these also suffer from the same problem.
