[gPXE] gPXE keeping dhcp data after being loaded by pxe rom

Hi,

gPXE image is loaded from tftp server after my machine executes its
onboard PXE boot procedure and gets the filename from the DHCP server.

Does any of the images provided by gPXE provide me with the possibility of
not needin to perform 'dhcp net0', but to have it remembered from the dhcp
request done by my PXE rom? I was thinking that .kpxe or .kkpxe could do
the trick, but I'm doing echo ${net0/ip} and it seems that the IP field is
empty.

Does it work wrong or maybe there is just no such possibility, and I just
need to repeat the dhcp request after loading the gpxe image whatever the
type?


Best regards,
Jedrzej Kalinowski
