    [quote=“Uncle Frank, post: 45539, member: 28116”]Hmmm, seems like you end up with a (ipxe) shell. Could you please try again and enter the following command on that shell:
    [CODE]ifstat[/CODE]
    For more information see here: [url]http://ipxe.org/cmd/ifstat[/url]

    I am wondering if you see “RX:0” or “RX:4” …?? If you see zero it means that it was unable to receive the DHCP answers (although we see that they are on the network).

    Next step could be to build iPXE with realtek driver only:
    [CODE]make bin/realtek.kpxe EMBED=… DEBUG=realtek:3[/CODE]

    For further posts please specify what ipxe binary you were exactly using, to prevent that we all get confused when re-reading the thread…

    [B]Edit: I just tried to lookup your MAC address. [URL=‘http://www.macvendorlookup.com’]www.macvendorlookup.com[/URL] is telling me that it is “QUANTA COMPUTER INC.”. Maybe I am wrong with realtek NIC?? Could you please boot that machine with a live CD or something else and tell me which NIC is in that 11e. Best would be if you can find out about the PCI ID!![/B][/quote]

    [FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#000000][SIZE=16px]With a debug it does not get past initializing device. I was able to get dhcp to work with the device by using gPXE which is odd because it is discontinued.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

      That leads me to think, then, that the wireless nic on the system is trying to load with an ip and failing because there’s nothing to connect to. Would you be so willing to change the boot.php lines and reverse mac0 and mac1 in the code?

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        And where is the file located? I cannot find it on the fog machine nor in the iPxe source.

            Same thing Configuring net0 fails and reboots. And the reason it shows as Quanta is because Realtek uses Quanta for their ODM mfg.

              Ah,

              Then if you can change back the file to make the mac0’s proper again, we know then that that is not the issue.

                So why would gPXE work and iPXE not? Are we looking at a source code issue with the realtek driver?

                  Well,

                  I’m more interested in how you’re trying to boot. It seems, to me, that you’re trying to boot using efi, but the nic is trying to load through legacy. Does this sound about correct?

                    I have tried loading both ways. Legacy and Uefi using a .efi and same issue with the configuring net0 then times out. I would prefer to do legacy because we have over 200 of these that need to be imaged.

                      Do you have Spanning Tree Protocol on your network? If so, can you disable it? If you can’t disable it, could you try enabling PortFast/Rapid STP?

                        Spoke to my boss and we are already using PortFast.

                        EDIT: And I am performing this on a portable fog server connected straight to the laptop that needs to be imaged to eliminate any of these networking issues.

                            Issue has been fixed by Micheal Brown over at iPxe. The realtek driver will work for now until we can get the undionly issue sorted too.

                              Experiencing the exact same issue with the same device, can you point me to the solution at iPXE or detail what to change inside the fog configuration?

                                @SeqSupportEdkey please see @brianjones2007 's request.

                                Brian, you might want to head over to iPXE and look for a guy named Micheal Brown… Or you could further elaborate your problem here and we will do our best to assist. It may be something that we know the solution to… sometimes it works that way.
