[gPXE-devel] [PATCH] EFI Simple Network Protocol driver

[Geoff Lywood]

Hi again,

This patch contains a gPXE network driver that can call into the EFI firmware's Simple Network Protocol (SNP) as a means to send and receive packets. It is essentially the EFI equivalent of the "undionly" driver.

I have tested this patch on an Apple Xserve (64-bit EFI), and a larger patch containing this code as well as some other improvements on both an IBM x3550 (64-bit EFI) and an Apple Mac Mini (32-bit EFI).

I know that this one is a little bit bigger than the other patches I've sent, and I'm not 100% certain of coding style and commenting guidelines, but I tried my best. Feedback is certainly welcome.

Thanks,
Geoff
