[syslinux] UEFI bootable USB stick to allow PXE booting with USB ethernet adaptors?

[Dan Jackson]

Hello,

At my workplace we have some laptops that don't have a built in Ethernet adaptor and don't natively support PXE booting using a USB Ethernet adaptor.

Is it possible to create a UEFI bootable USB stick with Syslinux that can somehow kickstart the PXE boot process using the USB Ethernet adaptor? If so, how would we do that?

Unfortunately due to the nature of the boot image, simply writing the boot image to a USB stick and trying to boot off that does not work, we specifically need to PXE boot it.

Thanks,
