==== Friday, 28 May 2010 ====

Decided with Josh to use qemu like syntax for command-line options

 <code>-net tap,mac=aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa,foo=bar,...</code>
That would use the tap driver with specified mac, foo=bar etc

 <code>-net tap,ip=192.168.1.100 use-cached=1</code>
That would use the tap driver with the specified ip and set use-cached to 1 so that DHCP won't override it.
==== Saturday, 29 May 2010 ====

Worked towards getting base64 support for CHAP in iSCSI. In the end only one of my patches were used. I had to refresh my mind on the topic to do the testing though.
  * [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=gpxe.git;a=commitdiff;h=607e5f9dd265e409121b58d5ae7a9e7a23c9ed81|[iscsi] Allow base64 encoding in large binary values]]
