Good day Will,

You asked if there was a way to 'ifopen' a second interface when
chain-loading gPXE from another PXE stack (I think).  Did I get that
right?  If so, I would like to know which gPXE build target you are
using.  One of the .pxe, .kpxe, or .kkpxe, no doubt.  If your build
target only has the UNDI driver, you should note that it's not likely
that the UNDI for the first NIC knows how to drive the second NIC at
all, even if they're identical.  This means that gPXE mightn't be able
to use the second network interface at all.

If gPXE supports your NIC with a non-UNDI driver, use a gPXE build
target with at least that driver (or all drivers).  To build a gPXE
chain-loadable build target with all drivers, you'd do the following
from the gpxe/src/ directory:

make bin/gpxe.pxe
