RC14 - UEFI client never loads registration screen

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott That gets me to “Failed to get an IP via DHCP! Tried on interfaces:”. After a while it says “Press enter to continue” which displays the registration page but it immediately tries to send the registration. Never prompts for name or other info.

@MRCUR And you’re using has_usb_nic=1 on the command line arguments?

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott The host isn’t registered, so no. Do I need to manually register it?

[Tom Elliott]

@MRCUR You can apply has_usb_nic for the temporary case through FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings ->Kernel args.

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott Perfect, thanks Tom!

[Tom Elliott]

So that worked?

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott Yep

[MRCUR]

@Tom-Elliott Is there a way to make the WiFi MAC be pulled as the primary MAC on the Surface? I just realized inventory only pulled the USB NIC MAC, so when I hook up another Surface it defaults to being registered.

[Tom Elliott]

@MRCUR The way to do that would be to create a generic hostname using the USB NIC.

If the image has wifi enabled and the new fog client, it will “self register” the new hosts with their respective hostnames. Using the USB NIC you would just check “client ignore” so hosts that are being imaged can still occur but their respective hostnames would be untouched. Unfortunately there’s not a simple way to handle this though and it’s the best information I can give for now.

@Tom-Elliott I’ll give that a try. Thanks!
