Reverted both of these patches yet the problem remains. :( This is easy to reproduce (at least on my build). if there is a DHCP server on the network, just do a network boot on the e1000. It makes a correct DHCPDISCOVER, but never responds to the DHCPOFFER (it should do a DHCPREQUEST next). No packets are getting lost according tcpdump on the master. The console is showing: Probing pci nic... [e1000-82540em]Ethernet addr: 00:04:21:DE:99:55 Searching for server (DHCP)....No IP address .No IP address .No IP address .No IP address .No IP address .No IP address .No IP address ...
