# This module produces EFI Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) Base Code Protocol.

# This module produces EFI PXE Base Code Protocol upon EFI MMP Protocl and IPv4
# network stack, used to control PXE-compatible devices. It produces EFI Load File
# Protocol to provide one clean way to otain control from the boot manager if the
-# boot patch is from the remote device.
+# boot patch is from the remote device. This driver only supports IPv4 network stack.
+#
+# Notes:
+# 1) This driver can't co-work with the UefiPxeBcDxe driver in NetworkPkg.
+# 2) This driver might have some issues that have been fixed in the UefiPxeBcDxe
+# driver in NetworkPkg.
+# 3) This driver supports less feature than the UefiPxeBcDxe driver in NetworkPkg
+# (e.g. IPv6, MTFTP windowsize).
+# 4) UefiPxeBcDxe driver in NetworkPkg is recommanded to use instead of this one even
+# both of them can be used.
