Could you let us know the output when you type 'drivers' command?
Thanks,
Ruth

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the reply. By existing system, I mean that I’m trying to
add network
support to my Asus Q87E motherboard. I don’t have the BIOS source for my
board
so I can’t build a fresh BIOS with networking stack built in.
Instead, I’m trying to load the networking DXEs from the MdePkg (EDK2)
in the
UEFI shell. I’m not having any luck. Has anyone done this before?
Thanks,
Stephen
