| + | [netdevice] Fix incorrect value for MAX_LL_HEADER_LEN | ||
| + | | ||
| + | MAX_LL_HEADER_LEN is erroneously set to 6 rather than 14, resulting | ||
| + | in possible data corruption whenever we send an ARP packet. | ||
| + | | ||
| + | Fix value and add a comment explaining why MAX_LL_ADDR_LEN is greater | ||
| + | than MAX_LL_HEADER_LEN. | ||

| + | commit c44a193d0d147ed6f98741124569864e516e9d4b | ||
| + | Author: Michael Brown <mcb30@etherboot.org> | ||

| + | |||
| + | [legal] Add a selection of FILE_LICENCE declarations | ||
| + | | ||
| + | Add FILE_LICENCE declarations to almost all files that make up the | ||

| + | Following command works in my old pxe, but does not work in trubbled pxe. | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | $ make bin/rtl8139.dsk | ||
| + | $ qemu -fda bin/rtl8139.dsk -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -bootp http://etherboot.org/share/pravin/pxeDHCP.gpxe | ||

| + | ===== Going one more level deeper ===== | ||
| + | Testing if generic network booting over http works or not by using __-bootp [[http://etherboot.org/gtest/gtest.gpxe]]__ | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | qemu -fda bin/rtl8139.dsk -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -bootp http://etherboot.org/gtest/gtest.gpxe | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | **This works for both problematic and good gpxe** | ||
| + | |||
| + | So, the problem lies in transition from | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | qemu -fda bin/rtl8139.dsk -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -bootp http://etherboot.org/gtest/gtest.gpxe | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | to | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | qemu -fda bin/rtl8139.dsk -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -bootp http://etherboot.org/share/pravin/pxeDHCP.gpxe | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== The commit causing problem ===== | ||
| + | used git bisect to find the problematic commit. | ||
| + | the test used to check if commit is correct or not is | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | make clean | ||
| + | make bin/rtl8139.dsk | ||
| + | qemu -fda bin/rtl8139.dsk -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -bootp http://etherboot.org/share/pravin/pxeDHCP.gpxe | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Commit used as last known good commit is | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | git bisect good f4bf4e6 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Following is the problematic commit. | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | $ git bisect bad | ||
| + | 3c06277bbb6ea135e6a1daf22463a347fc7898c7 is first bad commit | ||

| + | [settings] Allow for arbitrarily-named settings | ||
| + | | ||

| + | gPXE, using the existing syntax for settings. | ||
