[ipxe-devel] Support for Solarflare 10Gb Cards

[Robin Smidsrød]

If you do take the time to get the source it would be beneficial if you
put it in a public git repo so that we can see what has changed since
the last time we looked at it. Maybe there are some (new/fixed) drivers
we can include in mainline iPXE.
