Is this patch supposed to completely solve the proxyDHCP issues?
There are parts of the originally-suggested patch that were not
applied. Is there a need for additional patches, equivalent to those
parts? If not "needed", perhaps "convenient"?
In a somewhat-related matter, what about the suggested patch from
"Dashi Cao", "patch for UEFI PXE booting bugs":
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-April/023436.html
and the subsequent related discussion that started at:
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-May/023443.html
also related to prior email threads, such as:
"Problems with EFI PXE boot on Hp DL380p Gen9"
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-February/023226.html
(among others)?
In other words, are these suggested changes (or equivalent, or similar,
or modified revisions of them) still relevant (needed / convenient /
potentially useful)?
TIA,
Ady.
