How to get grub with network support?

[Robinson, Andrew W.]

First I'll apologize for the newbie-ish nature of this post. I have need but I don't have the knowledge.

 

The need is for a version of grub that will support network booting on new Dell servers and workstations. The workstations use the e1000 network driver. The servers use the tg3 network driver. Neither of these seems to be supported in the grub-0.95 I downloaded from the Gnu site. I've been poking around the mailing list archive for several hours now. As best as I can tell, some of you have added support for both these network drivers and made them available as patches. I have not been able to tell where I can find these patches and how to apply them.

 

My question: could some kind soul tell me where to find the patches for the e1000 and tg3 drivers? Then could you explain to me how to apply those patches?

 

Many thanks in advance!
