Fog PXE Boot with USB to Ethernet Adapter
-
FWIW I tried two different USB to Ethernet adapters today with the same result. It seems like the USB3.0 controller driver is not working properly.

Hey Tom,
Have you had a chance to look into this one some more? -
Keith,
I also am trying to image some Lenovo Yoga S1; however, I can’t even get to Fog’s pxe boot menu with a USB to RJ45. What are your BIOS settings set at, such that the system is allowing you to utilize it? If you can help me get that far, I’ll be able to report back as to whether I’m getting the same errors as you are. -
I would be curious to see if anyone has had iPXE success with USB to Ethernet adapters.

I’ve been able to get a Venue 11 Pro using a Hiro USB - NIC dongle on FOG 1.0.1 using the newest bzimage32 kernel (May 16th) but as soon as I get to the menu, I lose USB function. I am using a hub but it’s the only way to get by with these small USB port starved tablets.
UEFI PXE through IPV4 does not work at all though, have to use Legacy NIC.

I was having similar issues with the XPS 13 9333 using a startech dongle. The kernel 3.17.2 TomElliott (unofficial) was the only one that I could get to work with the xps.

For those with USB dongles attached, are you using SVN? If you are, the has_usb_nice=1 setting for the hosts kernel arguments should work for you.

Yes, sorry about the typo.

Hello again.
I setup a new Fog machine (ha!) this week and I got it working with our Yogas!
Fog 1.2.0 (with Tom Elliot’s 3.18 kernel) works perfectly with an ASIX USB to Ethernet adapter on the Lenovo Yoga.
[B]NOTE:[/B] I did have to symlink undionly.kpe to undionly.kkpe to make PXE work correctly.

Hello Keith can you provide me with the kernel version that you used please? I’m having trouble locating it.

New to Fog Server how do I get the Tom Elliot’s 3.18 kernel onto the Fog Server running Ubuntu 14.0.4. Trying to get some Yoga 2’s to ipxe boot.
