[ipxe-devel] better chainload native ipxe-driver (i.e. intel) instead of undionly?

[Oliver Rath]

Hi list,

does it make sense to chainload an ipxe-binary with native card support
instead of undionly? Ich could imagine, this generate more speed i.e.
for downloading big files after ipxe-chainloading. In my case I have
always the same intel gigabit card with 82574L chip.

Tfh!

Oliver,

I do it all of the time. However depending on the system Architecture, BIOS
and Driver support, it can and does introduce some problems with certain
hardware. I use the iPXE variables for ${product} to blacklist problematic
hardware.

Best,

Matt

Hi Matt,

thank you for the hint! What is the content of ${product}? Unfortunatly
there is no documentation for this setting on ipxe.org.

Regards,

Oliver

There is never time enough to do it right, but there always seems to
be enough time to do it again.
