Hi Marty, We have vendor-specific UNDI ROM driver for our x3100 10GbE NIC, that works well with undionly.kpxe.
However we would like to develop complete gPXE ROM and put it on the card, rather than use chainloading with undionly.kpxe. We understand that conventional way of doing that is via a NIC driver similar to the ones in gpxe\src\drivers\net, but since we already have working UNDI driver that works with undioly.kpxe (as well as with other proprietary PXE code), we wonder if it is possible to compile it with gpxe files to produce a complete PXE ROM? Please let me know your view.

Hi Marty, Thanks for quick reply. Currently we have PXE driver for NIC which is based on EMBOOT UNDI SDK. I started porting our Linux driver to get it compiled with GPXE source code. Instead of that is it possible to integrate our PXE driver that we already( which complaint with EMBOOT UNDI pxe stack ) to work with GPXE. If so, How to integrate our current PXE driver with GPXE? Sorry, if I am confusing you again.

Perhaps I misunderstand what you are describing. It would help me if you could describe exactly what your software does. Is it intended to be loaded by gPXE? Thanks for explaining in more detail.
