I use PXE:UNDI all the time with Grub2, per that wiki. Works fine.

s/Etherboot/gPXE?
I use gPXE's UNDI layer by way of pxelinux and that works fine. That 
project has stayed active for quite a long time and I'd think it best to 
integrate/shim their network stack onto GRUB2 than to reinvent the wheel 
(such as what pxelinux->gpxelinux has done). I believe that code is all 
GPL(.v?)
