[ipxe-devel] iPXE on Lenovo P70

[Kuniyasu Suzaki]

Hi Michael and Christian,

Thank you for your good suggestions. I could confirm the iPXE works well on P70.

I used the iPXE source code which is cloned by git yesterday.
I added the following line to  drivers/net/intel.c file.
> + PCI_ROM ( 0x8086, 0x15b7, "i219lm-2", "I219-LM (2)", 0 ),

Then, I rebuit with "DEGUG=intel" option.
$ make DEGUG=intel

I tried the new iPXE. The following the log of the iPXE.
f you need more information, I will post it. Thank you.
