Christian Helmuth 4506912f6e dde_ipxe: skip MAC/PHY reset on Intel NICs Inspired by the mailing-list posting [1], this commit removes the MAC/PHY reset for all Intel cards and effectively prevents the bandwidth drop to 10 MBit/s (e.g., on i217lm). I understand it as preliminary fix for practical reasons - a real fix would be to update the ipxe port and monitor for more postings like the one mentioned.

README

This repository contains the Device Driver Environment for the
"donator OS" iPXE available from http://ipxe.org/.

For building DDE iPXE, you first need to fetch and patch the original
sources. The top-level makefile of this repository automates this
task. Just issue:

! make prepare

Now, you need to include the DDE iPXE repository into your Genode
build process. Just add the path to this directory to the
'REPOSITORIES' declaration of the 'etc/build.conf' file within your
build directory, for example

! REPOSITORIES += $(GENODE_DIR)/repos/dde_ipxe

After successful build the DDE iPXE based ethernet driver is located
at 'bin/nic_drv'.
