 EXCELLENT!  That's what I wanted to see.  It iterates through 3
 handles, printing the entire MAC buffer and the handle's
 memory address.  Looks like it's merely a visual display bug.

Hi Gene,
we already know there's a full match and the binding is successful:
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-August/024070.html
then you are right; HP's FW has a display bug when printing path protocols.

Our problem now is that despite the successful binding of the right 
Service Binding handle syslinux.efi stops.

AFAIK (correct me if I'm wrong) now Derrik gets 
"core_udp_sendto: stalling on configure with no mapping" at core_udp_configure()
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-August/024065.htm

This means

status = uefi_call_wrapper(udp->Configure, 2, udp, udata);

is returning EFI_NO_MAPPING => "When using a default address, configuration 
(DHCP, BOOTP,RARP, etc.) is not finished yet."

The situation is not abortive and the the configure() can succeed or not at 
the next try of the while() but it looks weird to me the FW saying even once that 
the DHCP transaction is not finished when it is...

I think now we should know if core_udp_configure() returns EFI_SUCCESS or not,
and keep debugging from that point.


Best,
Patrick
