hi... i have a problem with gPXE 0.9.9 for rtl8139 10ec:8139 and qemu-kvm

The first pass of the boot the device mac is sometimes incorrect...
I see 00:00:d8:ab:e2:7e instead of 00:21:d8:ab:e2:7e.
The second octet is 00 instead of 21 in the mac.

Is this a known problem?

I don't have this problem if I try with the etherboot rom however.

My DHCP server does not return an IP for unknown MAC addresses.
