Syslinux - Mar 2007 - mboot.c32/Xen compatible

Hello all,

I'm new on the list and hope this question isn't out of order.

I'm booting Xen with mboot.c32 but with 100mb/s cards. I want to
upgrade to 1000mb/s.
I haven't got the biggest budget to trial and error new network cards
so I'd like to buy the right card first time.

I think this can be a bit tricky from 100mb/s card experience. A
3c905CX-TXM (03-0247-000 E) wouldn't boot but a 3c905CX-TX-M
(03-0287-001 E) would.

Could someone please recommend me a mboot.c32/Xen compatible make and model?

Thanks.
Chris.

Hey,

I dont know the answer, but to clarify the network card isn't related
to mboot module. Thats part of the pxelinux's UNDI driver I believe.

thanks.

I can't recommend a particular expansion card, but we've been using
pxelinux/mboot.c32 successfully with on-board Intel 82573E controllers.

Cheers,

Tim.
