Summary:  ne2000-rtl8139 bad detection

Original Submission:  Hi all,

Before congratulation for this great software, I'm using it with success to boot over 
network diskless PCs. thanks  ;-)

I found a mistake in network adapter detection between in my case.

I used ./configure --build=i386 --host=i386 --enable-ne [--enable-ne-scan=0x320] 
--enable-rtl8139

I have two embedded PC with different ethernet controller.

The first is an i586 and the kernel use rtl8139 driver and everything is ok..

The second one is an i386 without fpu and the kernel use ne driver for a rtl8019as 
chip. On grub stage2 the detection of adapter is show as rtl8139 and don't work. The 
definition of enable-ne-scan parameter don't help detection. The simple workaround is 
to define only --enable-ne and *not* --enable-rtl8139 for the rtl8019 chip. In this 
case the detection show the correct ne2000 adapter (the only one) and now boot is 
correct. So i have to use two different grub version.

Let me know if i can help more ...

Versions:
grub 0.95
gcc 3.2.2

Best regards.
