[Etherboot-developers] problems with e1000

[<al...@co...>]

Hi etherboot developers,

I have the following question: with the Intel e1000 etherboot driver
everything works if we use a e1000 card connected to a 100mbit port on the
switch and if we connect a 100mbit eepro100 card to the gigabit port.
However, it does not work if we connect the e1000 card to the gigabit 
port: no dhcp what-so-ever is coming through.. Does anyone have any ideas 
how to solve this? Is it a etherboot problem at all?

- Tried 5.0.7 and 5.0.6
- E1000 is a copper gigabit card; I assume we must use e1000-cop
- we tried a 3com  4924 switch and a 3com superstack 3 switch


I read somewhere that it is possible that during phase2/phase3 the eepro's 
MAC address can be pushed onto the e1000 (??) can this be a reason for our 
problems?

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Alex
