RE: Grub2 EFI PXE getting "error: timeout reading" when it attempts to load kernel files from tftp server

[Rivard, Matthew T]

Thanks, didn't get a chance to update yesterday, but the patch for the endian 
issue in tftp.c has resolved the timeout problem I was experiencing :).  I'll 
pull and recompile again if it crops up with other systems.

Please test current GIT. There were several changes to EFI net driver in 
attempt to fix similar issue.
