Hello,

A colleague of mine used rom-o-matic.net to get a zpxe image for his Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop network card (based on 82541pi chip). The zpxe image was not working, displaying an error message like "Bad MAC type".

It looked like to me that 82541pi support was incomplete : 82541pi appears in the rom-o-matic/etherboot device list but the e1000_set_mac_type function fails to detect it (code not implemented) and returns -E1000_ERR_MAC_TYPE.

Here is a patch that solved the problem.

    Patch adding e1000-82541pi support to etherboot 5.4.2 (and 5.4.3 probably)

    Thanks for the patch. I have applied it to 5.4 CVS, and it will be included in 5.4.3. --Marty
