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.

The grub-0.94-eb-5.3.7.tar.bz2 patchset updates several PCI drivers of Shou's grub-0.94-diskless-1.patch.gz to etherboot-5.3.7 in order to support newer e1000 models and the like. I've concentrated on the useful parts (e.g. ignored all ISA based nics), and also tackled r8169 support, but that forced me to patch configure and netboot/Makefile.in to make it build here (separate diffs). Regenerating configure (going through the aclocal, autoconf and automake stages) resulted in strange link problems in stage2 here.
It also contains a ported version of my tagged image support for grub. It allows for loading mknbi-whatever prepared images. I didn't check mknbi-linux kernels, nor I checked the mknbi-menu stuff. I'm doing some funny stuff with mknbi-dos nbi's (e.g. motherboard and NIC BIOS updates, Partition Magic), and hate to carry floppy disks around.

The tg3 support doesn't seem to work. I applied both patches (grub-0.94-diskless-fixtg3.patch AND grub-0.94-diskless-1.patch.gz) to a clean 0.94 source, and now e1000 works fine, and it also fixed a few problems with "intel pro 100/VE cards' not being detected, but broadcom 440x and 57x NICs are still not working.
I assume this tg3 support is mean't to add support in for both of the above NICs?

Please recreate your patch using unified format, as described in the web and the manual. You can use -urN to diff.

A note about the DHCP hack below: this is NOT recommended for general use! It is a dodgy hack that gets around a problem in my DHCP environment (2 DHCP servers). It is probably NOT necessary in a 1-server environment, and is a BAD HACK since it shortcuts the DHCP protocol. This is a short-term work-around: what we really need is a fix for the DHCP code so that it works properly despite having two servers talking at it.

grub-diskless-patch-2
GRUB 0.93:
Apply 'grub-0.93-0.94-1.patch' to update to the current version on official CVS first.
Current CVS version:
Apply grub-0.94-1-0001.patch and grub-0.94-1-0002.patch by order. Use '--enable-e1000' , '--enable-rtl8139' , '--enable-3c90x' , '--enable-eepro100' or '--enable-tg3' after 'configure --enable-diskless'. Other card drivers have not been tested. If any of them work on your machine, please inform us :-).

Another patch - a huge nasty hack which bypasses a DHCP problem I'm seeing in my network environment. We have 2 DHCP servers, and I think its confusing the DHCP implementation in Etherboot 5.3.5. This hack shortcuts the DHCP protocol, and uses an OFFERed IP address without sending a REQUEST! In real life, it should work OK since the IP address is only used for a short time.

The original .patch file is too big.
Here is the .gz version.
