basic virtio-net driver, located in OvmfPkg/VirtioNetDxe.\r
\r
* Also independently of the iPXE NIC drivers, Intel's proprietary E1000 NIC\r
- driver (PROEFI) can be embedded in the OVMF image at build time:\r
-\r
- - Download UEFI drivers for the e1000 NIC\r
- - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17515&lang=eng\r
- - Install the drivers into a directory called Intel3.5 in your WORKSPACE.\r
+ driver (from the BootUtil distribution) can be embedded in the OVMF image at\r
+ build time:\r
+\r
+ - Download BootUtil:\r
+ - Navigate to\r
+ https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19186/Ethernet-Intel-Ethernet-Connections-Boot-Utility-Preboot-Images-and-EFI-Drivers\r
+ - Click the download link for "PREBOOT.EXE".\r
+ - Accept the Intel Software License Agreement that appears.\r
+ - Unzip "PREBOOT.EXE" into a separate directory (this works with the\r
+ "unzip" utility on platforms different from Windows as well).\r
+ - Copy the "APPS/EFI/EFIx64/E3522X2.EFI" driver binary to\r
+ "Intel3.5/EFIX64/E3522X2.EFI" in your WORKSPACE.\r
+ - Intel have stopped distributing an IA32 driver binary (which used to\r
+ match the filename pattern "E35??E2.EFI"), thus this method will only\r
+ work for the IA32X64 and X64 builds of OVMF.\r
\r
- Include the driver in OVMF during the build:\r
- - Add "-D E1000_ENABLE" to your build command,\r
+ - Add "-D E1000_ENABLE" to your build command (only when building\r
+ "OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc" or "OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc").\r
- For example: "build -D E1000_ENABLE".\r
\r
* When a matching iPXE driver is configured for a NIC as described above, it\r
takes priority over other drivers that could possibly drive the card too:\r
