Summary:  Tulip/2114X NIC netboot causes win2k lockup on boot

Original Submission:  Set up grub with --enable-tulip; loaded boot sector for win2k 
over tftp and chainbooted to it. As windows loads, it locks up as it tries to 
initialize its devices (progress bar about half way). Reproduced on different machines 
and slightly different NIC revisions. My guess is that the crappy windows driver is 
expecting the NIC to be in power-up state, but since grub has used the NIC, it 
confuses the windows driver and locks. Problem was resolved when I used a different 
chipset NIC. Perhaps reset the NIC or PCI bus or something just before booting to make 
sure the cards are in a power-up-like state that an OS or driver might expect?
