Ah sorry, I hadn't seen this bug and sent a followup patch on bug #827705; attaching it here too, it depends on the first patch in that bug

I've sent it to Jason as well

BTW I don't think the PXE spec mentions lower casing at all, but perhaps I missed it (I searched the spec for "lower"); the pxelinux implementation of a post-PXE bootloader using the PXE BOOT ROM does lowercase the MAC addresses when looking for a pxelinux.cfg for the current device (via the %02x format string), but does not lowercase anything else (e.g. UUID is not lowercased and the IP address is definitely upper cased hex -- see uchexbytes()).
