Waiting for link-up on net0... Connection timed out

[asdil12]

It was built using:

make EMBED=boot.ipxe bin/ipxe.pxe bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi

boot.ipxe:

#!ipxe

echo Welcome to NFSLinux iPXE

dhcp

chain --replace --autofree http://${next-server}/tftpboot/menu.ipxe ||
chain --replace --autofree tftp://${next-server}/menu.ipxe ||

Booting works fine in a VM (that actually uses iPXE for booting into my iPXE bootloader)
and on a different UEFI hardware machine.

But on this old BIOS-PXE Asus Laptop it seems to timeout for some reason - even though the Intel UNDI PXE was able to boot into iPXE.

It seems to work if using undionly.kpxe instead of ipxe.pxe.

What does ifstat show before and after your dhcp attempt?

The only nic it finds is a wireless card AR9485
By using undionly.kpxe instead it uses the undo stack from bios PXE ROM.

Which nic is it you are trying to boot, and what is the pciid?

I'm trying to boot from the onboard wired ethernet:
