we have currently the following issue with iPXE:
We have a HP Blade Server BL660c Gen9 with two HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-Port
650 FLB Adapter
configured for UEFI boot.
The build in PXE boot works fine "make bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi", gets its
IP address and all other
DHCP parameters. Finally loads and run the IPXE image.
When it comes to request a DHCP address we get the following input/output
error:

I hope we can get this resolved.
It looks as though the NII interface is reporting that it _does_ support
link status (since PXE_STATFLAGS_GET_STATUS_NO_MEDIA_SUPPORTED is not
set), but is then never reporting the link as being up.
As a first suggestion, try upgrading from UEFI boot to BIOS boot.
If that doesn't work, then you could try editing nii_get_init_info() to
force nii->media=0 (which would cause iPXE to assume that the NII
interface does not support link status, and consequently to assume that
the link is unconditionally up).
