Good day Sonny,
In regards to your trouble using the 8086:100F NIC with gPXE:
There is a substantial difference in using the undionly.kpxe build
target for gPXE versus using a gPXE build target containing the driver
for your NIC. The UNDI driver will use a NIC driver provided by the
card's vendor. So in essence, by telling us that the UNDI driver works
and the gPXE driver doesn't, you are suggesting to us that there is a
bug in the gPXE driver. This is good see a report for, so the details
you just provided are appreciated.
The NIC matches the VMware Player E1000 NIC, as an aside. Is this your
environment, Sonny? I've used the E1000 in a VMware Player many times
with consistent success. If not, I find this a bit unusual.
