Hi,

I just wanted to share that the maintenance BIOSes released for the Dell 
platforms with Type-C this past week enables the MAC address pass 
through feature in UEFI, so any network booted machines will offer
the auxiliary MAC to the DHCP server.  In Windows a network booted
machine will always use auxiliary MAC now.

XPS 9350 (BIOS 1.4.4): http://goo.gl/7Sw2DZ

Please let me know what else can be done for this patch to make it
acceptable so we can have parity for Linux.

Thanks,
