[ipxe-devel] iPXE doesn't load when using ISC Kea 1.1

[Ledochowski, Roy]

I don't see anything obvious in the docs so I'll also send your observations to the Kea dev list.

The only code path capable of generating InAddrErrors is

   http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/blob/master:/src/net/ipv4.c#l559

Check the destination MAC address that the DHCP server is using to send the broadcast reply.  It looks as though it's sending to a unicast MAC address (despite using the IPv4 broadcast address).
