    • RE: Realtek NIC fails to load undionly.kpxe?

      @wayne-workman The NIC did work on a live-boot of an Ubuntu 16.10 live CD. Here’s everything I got from running lspci during the live session. The only difference, and I forgot to mention this in my original post, is that my FOG install is running on Ubuntu Server Core, so maybe there’s a driver package that’s included by default in the Desktop version that’s not installed?

      @george1421 You are correct, George. Using the dhcp net0 command did cause the laptop to pick up a DHCP address from my DHCP server. So it seems DHCP is working alright, which like you, I felt confident about since I get an IP address straight away.

    • Realtek NIC fails to load undionly.kpxe?

      The Server:
      FOG 1.4.4 on Ubuntu 16.10 on VMware ESX 5.5
      FOG server is NOT the DHCP server
      FOG is running on the 4.13.4 TomElliott kernel
      bzImage Version: 4.13.4
      bzImage32 Version: 4.11.0

      The Network:
      Spanning-tree turned on for all ports
      DHCP server has option 66 set to FOG server IP, option 67 is undionly.kpxe

      The Laptop (and one of the current banes of my existence):
      ByteSpeed E15K
      InsydeH2O bios version 210
      Realtek RTL8168H NIC

      So I have set this laptop in BIOS to boot from PXE, both using UEFI IPv4 and Legacy, and I cannot load the FOG PXE menu at all. The only picture I could get was from the Legacy PXE boot (the UEFI disappears too fast to read):

      I’ve talked to the laptop OEM and they seem to think I need to load the drivers for this laptop onto my FOG server. However, from what I read it sounds like the drivers are built into the kernel, which is why I updated to 4.13.4 which appears to be the latest and greatest. But to no avail…

      I’ve disabled Secure Boot in the BIOS as well but that did not help either.

      I’m a little capable in Linux (enough to setup Ubuntu and update FOG LOL) but not well versed in PXE at all.

      How can I get this laptop to boot into FOG?
