RE: Why does Grub need NIC-specific network drivers?

[Feng Shuo]

We have got an UNDI driver, but it is still unstable now :-(.

On the other hand, there are still a lot of cards with buggy UNDI
implementations, which means that we can not trust the UNDI API all the
time, so we still need all these NIC-specific drivers even the UNDI driver
is OK.

P.S. I think UNDI driver will work soon. :-)

Subject: Why does Grub need NIC-specific network drivers?

Hello!

I would like to use Grub to boot my PCs via PXE. Every NIC that has a 
PXE Rom also has an UNDI driver, so I do not understand why Grub needs 
NIC-specific drivers. Could someone please explain me, why this is the case.
PXELinux is able to boot via PXE and does not need NIC-specific drivers.

Thanks
Alex
