Review on πŸ’» Lenovo Thinkpad USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter: Efficient Connectivity for Compatible Models by Aaron Leburu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works for PXE boot with Config Manager 1806 (SCCM)

I was looking for a USB to GBE adapter that will PXE boot our Lenovo X1 Yoga Gen 1 and Gen 2 supported. This one is perfect in every way. The BIOS/UEFI firmware recognized the adapter and immediately presented a PXE boot option. Remember that you should play around with the TFTPBlockSize and TFTPWindowSize registry settings on your DP (or SCCM server with PXE/WDS). This can significantly increase the boot image loading speed on the system. My optimal values were 4096 and 4 respectively, as I have many other Lenovo models to support. Just run them and you will probably find useful information about these settings.

Pros
  • Useful beyond its intended purpose
Cons
  • It gives error
