On at least one PXE stack (Realtek r8169), PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE has
been observed to fail intermittently due to a media test failure (PXE
error 0x00000061). Retrying the call to PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE
succeeds, and the NIC is then usable.
It is worth noting that this particular Realtek PXE stack is already
known to be unreliable: for example, it repeatably fails its own
boot-time media test after every warm reboot.
Fix by attempting PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE multiple times, with a short
delay between each attempt to allow the link to settle.

[dhcp] Add PXE-mandated DHCP options [128,135] to parameter request list

The RS bit is used to instruct the NIC to update the TX descriptor
status byte. The RPS bit is used to instruct the NIC to defer this
update until after the packet has been transmitted on the wire (rather
than merely read into the transmit FIFO).
The driver currently sets RPS but not RS. Some e1000 models seem to
interpret this as implying that the status byte should be updated;
some don't. On the ones that don't, we never see any TX completions
and so rapidly run out of TX buffers.
Fix by setting the RS bit in the TX descriptor. (We don't care about
when the packet reaches the wire, so don't bother setting the RPS
bit.)

[iscsi] Fail immediately if target rejects any of our parameters
Some iSCSI targets (observed with stgt) can be configured to reject
connections that do not use header or data digests, and will respond
with "HeaderDigest=Reject" and/or "DataDigest=Reject", while still
allowing the connection to proceed to the full feature phase.
According to a strict reading of RFC3720, we are perfectly safe to
ignore these "Reject" messages: upon such a rejection "the negotiated
key is left at its current value (or default if no value was set)".
Since the default value for both HeaderDigest and DataDigest is
"None", then the only viable conclusion to be drawn is that the value
resulting from "Reject" is still "None".
Unfortunately, stgt doesn't seem to agree with this interpretation of
events, causing us to eventually report an unhelpful "connection timed
out" message to the user when we don't get any response to our first
PDU in full feature phase.
Fix by detecting any rejected parameters and immediately reporting an
error, which at least gives the user some insight as to what the real
problem may be.

[build] Include UNDI PCI driver within all-drivers build
Commit 9b99d2a ("[build] Avoid generating ROMs with "match-any" vendor
or device IDs") introduced a regression which caused the UNDI PCI
driver to be omitted from the list of all drivers, and thus to be
excluded from the all-drivers build.
Fix by ensuring that the per-driver section of the Makefile is
generated even when there are no ROMs to be built.

[hermon] Ensure hardware is quiescent when no interfaces are open
WinPE has been observed to call PXENV_UNDI_SHUTDOWN but not
PXENV_STOP_UNDI. This means that Hermon hardware is left partially
active (firmware running and one event queue mapped) when WinPE starts
up, which can cause a Blue Screen of Death.
Fix by ensuring that the hardware is left quiescent (with the firmware
stopped) when no interfaces are open.

[netdevice] Allow driver to preinitialise the link-layer address
Drivers are currently expected to initialise only the hardware
address, with the link-layer protocol code taking care of converting
this into a valid link-layer address. Some drivers (e.g. undinet) can
legitimately determine both the hardware and link-layer addresses,
which may differ.
Allow for this situation by checking to see if the link-layer address
is empty before initialising it from the hardware address.

TCP currently neglects to allow sufficient space for its own headers
when allocating I/O buffers. This problem is masked by the fact that
the maximum link-layer header size (802.11) is substantially larger
than the common Ethernet link-layer header.
Fix by allowing sufficient space for any TCP headers, as well as the
network-layer and link-layer headers.

[script] Accept labels on lines terminated with CRLF
CRLF line terminators are allowed in scripts; the carriage return is
simply interpreted as trailing whitespace and so is ignored. This

(without any trailing whitespace).
Fix by allowing a label to be terminated by either a NUL or a
