Re: [Etherboot-developers] Intel D815EGEW mainboard and RTL8139 NIC

[James N. <jn...@me...>]

Thanks for the input.   We will continue to use the 5.0.5 release.    We
will stay away from the 5.1.1 version.  We just wanted someone to know about
the problems we are having with that Intel mainboard under 5.1.1, thinking
that someday the 5.1.1 might become a production release with the problem
still intact.

Thanks Ken and everyone else for the work on Etherboot.   It is a great
product.
