Description

https://forum.vyos.io/t/pxe-functionality-lost-in-crux-1-2-2/3975

Users found they cannot deploy newer VyOS versions through PXE on some devices anymore.

They seem to be right on their suspicions, the last time I see driver e1000e in initrd is in VyOS 1.2.0-H4.

Looks like this is resolved in 1.2.4-epa can @s.lorente confirm?

Yes, now the driver is there. But, as I am not using that driver, I have asked for confirmation, just in case.

I've had no reply. I think we can consider it resolved.
We could always reopen it or open a new one if needed.
