[syslinux] EFI and proxyDHCP: setups

[Patrick Masotta]

>>>
  Patrick, I think I've been able to figure out some missing details
 about your VMware Workstation tests.  For a proxyDHCP,
 I'm using dnsmasq.  Could you try to confirm your test was the
 same basic setup?
 
 On VMware Workstation 10 with a VMHWv10 VM set to EFI
 firmware for x64, I've been able to get mixed results, depending on if agateway is provided.  

With a VMHWv9 VM, I see what appear to be the issues you see.
 
 VMHWv10, NAT: Boot Service Discover (a BOOTP style request)
 sent to the wrong MAC address (MAC address of gateway)
 
 VMHWv10, Host-Only, 6.03: success
 
 VMHWv9, NAT: Same as VMHWv10
 
 VMHWv9, Host-Only, 6.03: Syslinux appears deaf; no ARP
 response, no TFTP acknowledgement after receiving the first packet of a
 file request.
 
 VMHWv9, Host-Only, Commit 81eeaa3: Same as 6.03.

Are you testing with the patch applied or without?
As clients I'm using Workstation 10 VMs (32/64bit) and a real Toshiba notebook.
When the client is a VM the DHCP server is VMware's, When the client is a real
notebook the DHCP server is an external Netgear router. In any case the proxyDHCP is Serva.

Best,
Patrick
