 At this point it will compile, and I need to go through and determine what needs to be adjusted to meet gPXE's needs. ​ I also placed a significant number of ''​todo''​ comments listing things I need to double-check and what-not. At this point it will compile, and I need to go through and determine what needs to be adjusted to meet gPXE's needs. ​ I also placed a significant number of ''​todo''​ comments listing things I need to double-check and what-not.

 +Woot!
 +
 +Driver is now fully operational!
 +  * [[http://​git.etherboot.org/?​p=people/​mdeck/​gpxe.git;​a=commitdiff;​h=550f1de759b02ae3e57c922622e57b5b47175e2f|[Drivers-skge] Fixed skge_probe, integrated skge_extirq. Card operational.]]
 +I netbooted a DOS image via AoE and ran //​scandisk//​ and //doom// without any sign of trouble, and without any obvious packet errors via wireshark.
 +
 +How's that for next-day delivery! :)
 +
 +The driver is still currently cluttered throughout with commented-out original-driver code.  Once I get feedback from mdc and others, I'll begin pruning out the excess.
 +
 +=== 20 July ===
 +
 +I decided to jump the gun and prune away on **skge**.
 +
 +First, a new branch and a merge of recent updates into the tree:
 +  * [[http://​git.etherboot.org/?​p=people/​mdeck/​gpxe.git;​a=commitdiff;​h=39e778e1930ef5e18bbbd3dcd1d7deddf5597aef|Merge branch '​master'​ of git://​git.etherboot.org/​scm/​gpxe into skge]]
 +
 +Most of those cluttering commented lines of old code were removed:
 +  * [[http://​git.etherboot.org/?​p=people/​mdeck/​gpxe.git;​a=commitdiff;​h=d259e62817c58d891834615903c1a5fb601a00ec|[Drivers-skge] Removed unnecessary linux-driver code]]
 +
 +A few functions were revived to support the XM PHY fully:
 +  * [[http://​git.etherboot.org/?​p=people/​mdeck/​gpxe.git;​a=commitdiff;​h=9ad495c1ada5c4e473f05fc51687abcfa4595750|[Drivers-skge] XM link-state support added]]
 +
 +Additional functions were clipped, debug statements were placed throughout. ​ All todo's were taken care of.  Note I left the EEPROM functions in place, but commented out, in case ''​nvs''​ support for this is added later:
 +  * [[http://​git.etherboot.org/?​p=people/​mdeck/​gpxe.git;​a=commitdiff;​h=e00cdf2b52ad76d67ba985dfdec6989983499dec|[Drivers-skge] Cleanup extraneous fns, added DBG statements]]
 +
 +I currently don't foresee additional work to this driver until a code review with mdc.
