Wake on LAN is not supported on the Intel PRO/1000 MT Quad Port Server Adapter. Trying to enable this feature with IBAUTIL.EXE will not have any effect. The Intel PRO/1000 MT Quad Port Server Adapter supports Intel(R) Boot Agent functionality on ports A and B, however it is disabled by default. PROBOOT.exe will extract several files to the directory C: Intel13.3; the only file that you need is C: Intel13.3 IBAUtil.exe. NOTE: Be sure to get the latest version of PROBOOT.exe. Tested with version 14.3, but older versions are unable to burn images 64kB in a correct way. The Latest WindSLIC Release (v2011.01.22.01.beta): Note: Don't Download with IE. It seems to screw up the zip file somehow. View attachment windslic-2011012201-beta.zip. Download FreeDOS from FreeDOS. Choose the full distro file:fdfullcd.iso. Burn the image to CDROM and boot from it. Choose a LIVE Image during the boot menu and get to the FreeDOS command prompt: cd c: Temp ProBoot Intel12.1 (or wherever the files got unpacked) IBAUtil.exe -DEFCFG.
I was wondering if anyone has found the same thing that I did,
while trying to flash Intel NICs with iPXE. If you go and download the
latest preboot.exe (I got mine from here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=412&DwnldID=19186&lang=eng&iid=dc_rss
version 17.4, which gives a bootutil.exe version of 1.4.03.0, it
apparently does not like the rom format that iPXE presents. When I try
BootUtil version 1.4.03.0

(Note, echo %errorlevel% shows error 14).
Also, I tried the bootutil in Linux, and got the same error. I also
tried many forms of the filename, and it didn't change the error.
However, grabbing the old prorpl.exe, from

version 10.4, IBAUtil version 3.03.06.00, it works fine, with the

Indeed, upon reboot, I'm presented with iPXE.
In my searching, I found an old forum posting, with suggestions from
Robin, however no reply after that:
http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=3420
Trying the suggestion (also suggested by Shao on IRC), I reduced the
size of the image, and padded it to the size of one saved from the
bootutil, and I still got the same error message.
At this point, it seems either the ROM needs to be saved in a new
format for the bootutil, or we have to use the old ibautil to flash it.
Has anyone found this, or found a way to get it to work with the new

bootutil?
