We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform. Unfortunately, GRUB 2 doesn't have network support yet, although there's ongoing work to implement it. If you want to help on that, please contact <grub-devel@gnu.org>.

In the meantime, this bug doesn't apply. I'm closing it.

We use grub to boot diskless workstations from Network(with PXE). The server is a 2-way P4-Xeon(hyper-thread) with two ethernet NICs. We found that the grub can't boot the client when the two NICs were both connected. I thought it didn't add/reflash the arp entry when the server anwsered the tftp request with another NIC(different from the one grub get the DHCP anwser).
Another problem is found when the diskless client has two NICs. The grub seems not able to work when it get only one DHCP anwser. It seems won't boot until the other NIC get a dynamic IP from server. The mechanic will be harmful in remote-boot blade servers. :(
