[ipxe-devel] iPXE Hardware Support Matrix

[Oliver Rath]

Hi List,

I want to start a iPXE Hardware support Matrix in the wiki. Does
something similar already exist? If not, how can I contribute this table
into the Wiki? Im thinking about

Chipset (i.e. X540) | NICs (i.e.Intel X540-T2 Dual Port 10 Gbit/s |
Vendor-IDs | Ports (i.e. RJ45, SFP+) | Number of Ports | VLan y/n |
builtin iscsi y/n | Additional features (i.e. supports mac sec 802.1ae)
| burnable | comments |

Tfh!

Is https://ipxe.org/appnote/hardware_drivers what you are looking for?
It could probably be improved with more details on what is tested and not.
One issue is that the same nic for example could be used both with and
without burnable ROMs.
some NIC chips could be equipped with different ports, and so on.

Do note that currently USB NICs are not listed due to support for finding
them in the utils have not been written.

That wiki page is automatically updated on each commit to stay current.
But it does contain a link (1) to the driver test page, which again
points to a list of _tested_ drivers / card combinations (2). Your test
information should be added there, as it might help people to know what
hardware is actually working (and not just expected to work).
