Thanks, Michael,
That's very odd. It would be interesting to know what causes this limit.
(For example, does a normal-sized "-s 1472" ping work over this USB NIC
when
it *isn't* being used by iPXE?)
I tested this item in Windows XP. The largest value that works over this
USB-NIC (in windows xp) is "-s 1472".
Are you using the latest version of sanbootconf
(http://git.ipxe.org/release/sanbootconf/)? If so, you should see some
iSCSI-
related messages appear on the boot screen. For example:
Yes, I used the latest version of sanbootconf.
After using the Windows XP image made from USB flash drive, I can
successfully sanboot Windows XP via this USB-NIC. Since this USB-NIC only
fits to USB 1.1, booting speed is extremely slow (took about 5 minutes from
power on to windows xp operable).
Because the driver of this USB-NIC and PXE support is loaded from FDD ( it
took more than 1 minutes to load driver and PXE), I tried to load iPXE
directly from the USB flash drive. When I did this, iPXE seemed can't find
the USB-NIC.
What should I do to make the USB-NIC workable while the iPXE is loaded from
USB flash drive? Thanks very much!
Regards,
Jerry

It inspired me to try to setup mtu as 1492. Amazingly, it works. I can
see
logo of windows xp now!
Excellent! :)
Although it finally hanged at windows blue screen (looks like to be
0x7B),
I think it should relate to "boot form usb device" issue this time. I
will
try to install windows xp into usb flash drive, and use it to create a
new
image for a trial.
