Yes, all the drivers are for PCI devices :-(.
I'm sorry that I don't get the ISA support from Etherboot to GRUB, for I don't have
any ISA NIC cards to test my code :-(.

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.

Hi,
I applied the grub-0.95-diskless-patch-2.patch but it removes the --enable-ne option
(standard ISA NE1000/NE2000) !
I can't use --enable-ns8390 because it is a driver for PCI NE2000 and clones.
Oh my god, why this driver was removed ? (it still present in kernel 2.6 and 2.4
series...)
Are we enjoined to by a recent board with PCI ?
;-)
Best regards

Try the diskless patch on bug #9408.
It can support rtl8139 at least, (I don't know about ne, but you can test the driver
for me :-)
