Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/1246

Describe the bug
Using a DELL PowerEdge R210 II with a Broadcom Dual Gigabit Ethernet NIC hangs on boot using iPXE. This is the only Broadcom System I have got. All my Intel work perfect, but this one not. I suspect a Bug somehwere. Using a WDS the card work perfect, so I suspect it in iPXE.

No special hardware installed. Only a USB Quadport PCIe Card. Rest is stock. I can provide the Service Tag if needed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Boot the DELL Server
Press F12 for Network Boot
iPXE Preboot Sequence is shown
Select a System to boot from Netboot
See the Screenshot.

Expected behavior
Working Bootprocess

Screenshots

Additional context
Using a DELL PowerEdge R610 with an onboard Intel Dual Gigabit NIC, Netboot works too. System has a Celeron CPU und 8GB RAM. 2 Disks (Windows Dynamic Disks) with a Software RAID 1.

Hardware specific issues I'd raise upstream to iPXE.

Here with the same issue.

@oe3gwu Did you find a workaround?

I'm gonna try the undionly image next as someone on FOG mentioned that those may work better, but I don't have high hopes for it. Guessing some config thing or missing module, but without any info on what it hangs on hard to say.
