Subject: ipxe: old version does not support modern network adapters.

Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 18:56:05 +0300

Source: ipxe
Version: 1.0.0+git-20150424.a25a16d-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

 * What led up to the situation?
   - I use "ipxe.lkrn" to do network boot over HTTP (Debian/jessie).
   - Recent PC hardware has newer network adapters.
   - These adapters are supported by upstream IPXE, but
     not by the old version packaged in Debian.
   - Using "ipxe.lkrn" from Debian/stretch add support to only some of the adapters.

 * Related network adapters and IPXE versions:
   - NIC: Intel [8086:155a] -- "I218-LM" -- solved by taking "ipxe.lkrn" from Debian/stretch.
   - NIC: Intel [8086:156f] -- "I219-LM" -- solved by building from upsteam git repository.
   - The relevant "I219-LM" patch was added at 2016-07-11 (23c275bd1e1ddbb7c03254812b938f1992d66b9e)

 * What was the outcome of this action?
   - Building from upstream latest source created a working "ipxe.lkrn"
     that support all hardware I'm currently using.
