Description some one 2013-05-19 18:53:22 CEST

Description of problem:
I am unable to install my Lenovo T500 over PXE using boot-nonfree.iso
The machine is able to get DHCP for the PXE stage but once the Mageia installer ask for DHCP it waits a couple minutes then fails to get an IP. I set a static IP and then the installer is unable to show the list of repository mirrors.
I do not get this problem when installing to Virtualbox which uses the same e1000e network driver.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 3 beta 4

How reproducible:
Every time I try to install to Lenovo T500 notebook

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load boot-nonfree.iso from PXE menu
2.select HTTP and DHCP
3.Get no DHCP address
4.Set Static IP
5.Select Mageia 3 in mirror selection stage
6.Goes back to DHCP selection


This is a carry over from beta and RC see;
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9680

Let me know if any further info is needed.

I really need this to work as I need to be able to deploy Mageia on thousands of machines over the next year.
