UNDI and PXE [Re: netbooting pxegrub]

[Mark Buckaway]

What grub needs for remote booting is a UNDI driver that talks to the
ROM on a PXE enabled ethernet card. The idea of having to compile in a
Etherboot driver is silly given UNDI is a standard interface to access
the ethernet card.

I know of one individual working on this driver. Anyone else on the list
happen to be working on an UNDI driver for grub?
