[Dnsmasq-discuss] ProxyDHCP mode is broken for serving ipxe.efi to UEFI pxe clents

Great, thanks. I've applied your patch and made a further change:
instead of changing the filename behaviour based on CSA, it looks at the
filename provided. If it has a suffix (strictly, if it includes a '.'
character) then the filename is used as-is. Otherwise it as the layer
added as suffix.

That seems most sensible. It has a small risk of breaking existing
setups with files called boot.bios.0. but that can be handled with a
release-note in the changelog.


In git now.

Simon.

In reaction to the ACK it then sends an ACK which includes either the single boot file name and server, or the PXE menu.
