The latest firmware of that NIC has a (PXE boot related) bug, downgrade it and it will work "normally". Dell Support knows about it.

We just got some brand new Dell PowerEdge R620's. They have an Intel(R) 2P X540/2P I350 daughter card in them. We use DHCP reservations to get servers to the right place when they PXE, and up until now, MAC address has always been sufficient to do so. These R620's though aren't using the MAC to ID themselves to DHCP, they are using the SMBIOS GUID instead. I've never seen a client use that for DHCP before. Anybody seen this or know what's going on? Todd
