Hi guys,
I'm working with grub bootloader (version 2.00) for target i386-pc and I
can compile and install it without any errors.
Now I want to enable ethernet drivers within grub but I haven't found yet
the configure options that I need for the activation. Furtermore using the
command "net_ls_cards" the grub shows me nothing.
Can you give me any tips to solve that?
Regards,
Francesco

On PC BIOS grub is using PXE stack, so it expects BIOS to already load
and initialize LAN drivers. This usually happens when you initiate
network boot. If PXE stack is not present, GRUB cannot use network on
this platform.
