The EFI device path settings are currently registered as the "netX.dhcp" settings block, in order that they will be automatically overridden if a real DHCP configuration takes place. This does not work as expected in an IPv6-only network, since the IPv6 configurator will register "netX.ndp" rather than "netX.dhcp". Fix by registering the EFI device path settings as either "netX.dhcp" or "netX.ndp" based on the first address family encountered within the device path. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
iPXE network bootloader
iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
-
boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,
-
boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,
-
control the boot process with a script,
You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.
iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).
You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.
