Hello Ady,

To sum up :

_ 4.0x works;
_ 4.10-pre22 (lwip branch) works;
_ 5.01 (elflink branch) works;
_ 5.10 and beyond (lwip merge into elflink) fails; --> pxelinux.0 very slow, lpxelinux.0 freezes (i don't get the menu)

I just tried with 6.03 pre 5 :
pxelinux.0 very slow
lpxelinux.0 hangs displaying pxelinux 6.03 lwip

Eric
