    @Tom-Elliott I looked through the rom-o-matic for the iPXE kernels and I didn’t specifically see a tc3 or tigon3 card called out specifically. BUT, if you can use a specific iPXE kernel with only the driver for the tigon broadcom network interface, you may luck out and the wireless adapter may not be seen at all by the iPXE kernel as it would if you use one of the general purpose efi kernels.

    Once you can narrow it down to a specific ipxe kernel that will only see the ethernet adapter then we have options for us to use. If you dhcp server is isc-dhcp (linux), dnsmasq (linux) or windows 2012 dhcp we can create a custom filter to only send the tc3.efi kernel name to the booting efi device when a MAC is detected. That part is a bit more complex but it is possible and we can make it all automatic, but the key is finding an iPXE efi kernel that only sees the broadcom network adapter.

    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!

      Could you be a bit more specific on which exact model you are having those issues on. AFAIK there are at least four different models called ‘Macmini7,1’ - possibly more:
      http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_mini/specs/mac-mini-core-i5-1.4-late-2014-specs.html
      http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_mini/specs/mac-mini-core-i5-2.6-late-2014-specs.html
      http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_mini/specs/mac-mini-core-i5-2.8-late-2014-specs.html
      http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_mini/specs/mac-mini-core-i7-3.0-late-2014-specs.html

      As well it would be great if you could give us the vendor and product ID of those ethernet and wireless cards build into your Macminis…! 🙂

      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)
