This depends on the version of the eepro100 driver...

The one which is included in Grub (from Etherboot) only recognize
the 82557 chipset (ID : 8086/1229). Yours should be 8086/1209.

Well the eepro100 in etherboot has probably improved, whereas the one in
Grub is old...

If the code for 82559 is exactly the same for 82557, you could try to
change
the reference to 0x1229 in netboot/pci.h (change it to 0x1209).
Perhaps...

If not, then it would need to put the newest eepro100 code in Grub.
