[gPXE] gPXE 1.0.0-rc1 Test Report & Question

[Robert Boerner]

Hello all,

I'm a bit of a newb in terms of gPXE, but after successfully setting
up plain old PXE booting last week on a Marvell Sheevaplug, I wanted
to dip my toes into new waters.

I saw the release announcement on the soon to be retired Etherboot
mailing list here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=4B5F5EA3.3040505%40etherboot.org

and tried to download a floppy image (including all NIC drivers) to
test on my work desktop (a Dell Optiplex 755) with an Intel 82566DM-2
Gigabit NIC identified with vendor ID 8086 and device ID 10bd.

The floppy boots but does not seem to find a supported NIC. I googled
a bit and found nothing relevant to gPXE, but I did find this bug in
your bug tracker:

http://support.etherboot.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=43

Although not exactly the same device, am I correct in assuming that my
NIC simply is not supported yet? Or did I simply do something wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help, and thanks for the work you have done.
