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 following patch I just made might interest you : bug #11555.
I don't know exactly which shipset you have, but it could work.

- You have to get grub 0.95
- You have to patch it with Fengshuo's diskless patch2 (see attachments of bug #9408).
- Then apply my patch.

Don't hesitate to contact me if it does not work.

After more searching, I found bugs #6690.
This seems to go a long way to fixing my problem. (although dhcp is still broken). It might be best to close this feature request, and I'll ask the author of the patches referenced in 6690 about the dhcp problems I've got with the patches.

Hi,
I've been trying to get grub to network boot on a dell d600. It uses a broadcom 570x gigabit integrated ethernet

After doing research on the net, it looks like the tg3 driver from etherboot 5.3.6 supports the broadcom 57xx series of drivers.

I tried copying the driver to the netboot of the grub sources, and running ./configure --enable-tg3, but I guess it's more involved than that, hence I'm making this feature request.

Thanks.
