Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
- I use "ipxe.lkrn" to do network boot over HTTP (Debian/jessie).
- Recent PC hardware has newer network adapters.
- These adapters are supported by upstream IPXE, but
not by the old version packaged in Debian.
- Using "ipxe.lkrn" from Debian/stretch add support to only some of the
adapters.
* Related network adapters and IPXE versions:
- NIC: Intel [8086:155a] -- "I218-LM" -- solved by taking "ipxe.lkrn" from
Debian/stretch.
- NIC: Intel [8086:156f] -- "I219-LM" -- solved by building from upsteam git
repository.
- The relevant "I219-LM" patch was added at 2016-07-11
(23c275bd1e1ddbb7c03254812b938f1992d66b9e)
* What was the outcome of this action?
- Building from upstream latest source created a working "ipxe.lkrn"
that support all hardware I'm currently using.
