| - | Started working on getting gPXE to recognise IPv6 addresses in URLs - so things such as http://[fc00::1]/test.bin will work.

| Been having some issues with the gPXE and the serial port on my primary test machine, might switch focus and fix that while I figure out the HTTP/IPv6 stuff. | Been having some issues with the gPXE and the serial port on my primary test machine, might switch focus and fix that while I figure out the HTTP/IPv6 stuff. | ||

| + | Spent some time figuring out how requesting a kernel over HTTP works at each layer in gPXE - once I have a better idea of the links between each layer I can figure out where connecting to an IPv6 host is failing. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I can at least use QEMU for this part of the testing as I don't need actual IPv6 traffic from the network to test with - that's improved my compile/test cycle speed significantly! :) | ||
