problem netbooting with 3c90x!

[Johan Rydberg]

Hi!

Hi, I'm trying to netboot a kernel using the netboot support
in GRUB (version 0.5.96).  I have a 3c905(a) card (that works 
perfectly under Linux).  It fails when it tries to determine 
the IP address using bootp/rarp.  It seems that it can't send 
any packets.  After some debugging, I have found that it failes
(hangs) on the following lines:

+line 525, 3c90x.c
  /** End Stall and Wait for upload to complete. **/
  a3c90x_internal_IssueCommand(INF_3C90X.IOAddr, cmdStallCtl, 3);
  while(inl(INF_3C90X.IOAddr + regDnListPtr_l) != 0)
      ;

Anyone else tried netboot with a 3c905 card ?  What can be
the problem ?
