Hi,

On another iPXE channel was this posted:

| Qouting https://ipxe.org/howto/romburning/intel
| } "Intel's BootUtil.exe ROM-burning tool, formerly published directly
| } by Intel but now available only from third-party sources such as Asus."
| 
| That's not true!
| Here's link from Intel:
| 
| https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/15755/29944/intel-ethernet-connections-boot-utility-preboot-images-and-efi-drivers.html -> preboot.exe
| ( direct download link: https://downloadmirror.intel.com/29944/eng/preboot.exe )
| 
| Extract BootUtil.exe:
| $ unzip preboot.exe APPS/BootUtil/DOS/BootUtil.exe
| 
| $ sha256sum preboot.exe APPS/BootUtil/DOS/BootUtil.exe
| 62b107a569c1c5ee6dca657861e43050f1d81d4cc500bd66638399493647a2d2  preboot.exe
| 156e5f588dc8ba445bec59fc2077d1524a56e49d9f474a350d435085d6b7fdd1  APPS/BootUtil/DOS/BootUtil.exe
| $


A few days later there was a reminder about it.


Now posted here by me (I'm not the original poster)

What is needed to get https://ipxe.org/howto/romburning/intel updated?
