[ipxe-devel] [PATCH] Increase link wait timeout

[Leendert van Doorn]

On my system the time for the broadcom NIC (TG3) to establish a link is
in 80% of the cases > 15secs which causes the link setup to fail. In fact,
the TG3 driver starts receiving packets well before the PHY signals its up
and running. Increasing the timeout to 60 secs resolves this failure.
