 #  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

+#  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.
