I've carbon-copied the gPXE mailing list, since this is gPXE-related. http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe I am of the opinion that we have at least a couple of gPXE NIC drivers which do not cause their NIC to generate interrupts for use by the UNDI consumer. These are fUNDImentally broken and should be addressed on a per-driver basis versus on the undinet driver as a consumer. Fixing the NIC drivers ensures PXE compliance; once compliant, the need to hack the consuming undinet driver disappears. That's good that Thomas' fix worked out (yay!) in this instance. Thanks again for identifying this bug, Alex. - Shao Miller
