UEFI is pretty common on phones now, but it's unlikely that any of them are running this network stack there.

Is it? I'd like a UEFI phone booting GNU/Linux but last I looked it was a bunch of hacky aftermarket firmwares.

It being UEFI doesn't mean it's a standard platform, there's no ACPI and you're going to need a custom kernel that targets that specific device. UEFI alone isn't enough to support booting a generic OS.

And thanks! Updated my profile.

Exactly. No phones have PXE boot enabled, regardless of the rest.
