Public bug reported:
The build system depends on a certain naming scheme of the rom images.
The basename of the rom file (e.g. rtl8139.rom -> rtl8139) must be
defined in the drivers PCI_ROM or ISA_ROM makro. For the rtl8139 driver
this is correctly done:
PCI_ROM(0x10ec, 0x8139, "rtl8139", "Realtek 8139", 0)
However at least the ne2k_isa and the e1000_82540 drivers are not
behaving well:
PCI_ROM(0x8086, 0x100E, "E1000_DEV_ID_82540EM", "E1000_DEV_ID_82540EM",
e1000_82540),
ISA_DRIVER ( ne_driver, ne_probe_addrs, ne_probe1,GENERIC_ISAPNP_VENDOR, 0x0600
);
DRIVER ( "ne", nic_driver, isapnp_driver, ne_driver, ne_probe, ne_disable );
ISA_ROM("ne","NE1000/2000 and clones");
The KVM roms to be build use the name of the driver's C file. This does
unfortunately end in a successful build but with vendor and device id of
0 coded into the rom images.
This seems to be no problem for KVM (so for ipxe it might be lower
priority) but the Xen hvmloader is build in such a way that the roms
from the kvm-ipxe binary package are used and then included in a way
that on boot a matching rom is search by pci id of the card. This fails
for e1000 because of this bug.
