Hello,

Using a eepro100 card (full description below), gpxe detects the card and
tries to dhcp from it but the connection times out. Normal pxe however
gets an address (and I cannot chain gpxe because of the setup). This
happens with git and 1.0.0 both built from source and from rom-o-matic.
Because the system refuses to read the .usb image (when dd'd to a device)
I am using syslinux as the boot loader.

Steps taken
Generate gpxe.lkrn via rom-o-matic/src.
mkdiskimage -4 /dev/sdb 0 64 32
syslinux /dev/sdb
mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/disk
cp gpxe.lkrn /mnt/disk/gpxe.lkrn
modify syslinux.cfg
and boot.


Card information (pciconf -lv)
fxp0 at pci0:1:3:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x10408086 chip=0x12298086 rev=0x0c
hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '82550/1/7/8/9 EtherExpress PRO/100(B) Ethernet Adapter'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet


Thanks.
