Re: BUG: grub netbooting with EEPRO100

[Christoph Plattner]

The problem is the the PCI chip ID. The i82559ER has 0x1209 instead of
0x1229
(used for i82557..559). The vendor ID is 0x8086 in all cases ( = intel )
!

I have done a local patch in GRUB to handle 
        (1) the i82559er also
        (2) use the new EEPROM access routines to avoid the error concerning
                checksums and reading wrong MAC addresses, etc.

I will deliver the patch to GRUB very soon (inside next days) !

Cheers
