I have similar symptoms, very reproducible. same nic, but in an HP laptop: lspci.. 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection
apt-get install grub-ipxe 342468 Jan 6 03:59 ipxe.lkrn update it: vt@pc9d:/boot$ sudo wget http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.lkrn 2014-05-02 17:24:01 (188 KB/s) - ‘ipxe.lkrn’ saved [369882/369882] vt@pc9d:/boot$ ls -l ipxe.lkrn -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 369882 May 2 17:00 ipxe.lkrn vt@pc9d:/boot$ md5sum ipxe.lkrn ca7c8c447041b40c1d65e34fbf6d0346 ipxe.lkrn reboot grub menu, pick ipxe, iPXE 1.0.0+ (c6474) see dhcp/tftp traffic, repeat a few time just to be sure all is good. Nothing seems to be wrong. reboot. grab the ubuntu net installer: wget -N http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux wget -N http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz pxe boot : linux ubuntu/trusty/amd64/linux append initrd=ubuntu/trusty/amd64/initrd.gz root=/dev/rd/0 rw Enter though the defaults about keyboards and such, get to networking: "Configuring network with dhcp... " error. At this point, nothing I can do will make the nic function, even rebooting and picking ipxe, or rebooting, hitting F11 and using the stock pxe in the nic's rom. I have to pull power/battery from the laptop to reset it.
