[syslinux] syslinux PXE boot version upgrade, network no longer working

[David McDowell]

Thanks for the suggestion Lukas. Is lpxelinux.0[1] a fork of this distro or a completely different open source option?

I can vouch that running 4.07 fixed my issue with older model laptops I mentioned. I’m still waiting on tests with bleeding new demo models we have to see if the network loads those as well. I might try an early 5.x release if I have troubles with the newest hardware.
