I have released gPXE version 0.9.6 at:

   http://kernel.org/pub/software/utils/boot/gpxe/

Besides Michael Brown's usual amazing number of enhancements, this 
release contains a number of community contributed enhancements.

Here are some highlights from this release:

   * Some virtio-net updates from Laurent Vivier.

   * A new r8169 Realtek 8169/8168/81xx driver from Marty Connor.

   * A new b44 driver for Broadcom bcm44xx cards from
     Pantelis Koukousoulas and Stefan Hajnoczi.

We would appreciate it if you would test this release (especially the 
new drivers) and report to the Etherboot-Discuss list your results.
