I checked the support for the ether express 1000, and it works great.
I'm using am ibm x40 laptop.
Great work :)

Upload the unfinished UNDI driver patch for grub-0.95-diskless-patch-2.
Now DHCP OK on eepro100 and rtl8139, but hang in downloading kernel or initrd.
Attention: 
    1. The PATCH is still in develop! NEVER use it unless you know what are you 
doing :-)
    2. The PATCH only works on the official GNU GRUB with 
grub-0.95-diskless-patch-2.patch. 
If anyone want help me to fix the kernel loading bug, we can discuss the patch 
on the mail list ---- You are welcome :-)

The patch only contains the sis900 driver fix, new DHCP tag and fixes some 
compiling warnings of the driver.
The unsolicited UDP/IP stack has not been fixed for I want to keep the core UDP 
stack just the same as etherboot. I will release a seperate patch to fix this 
as a beta version first :-)

sis900.c contains a macro __pci_driver that is not defined.

More bug fix will be in next version patch(grub-0.95-diskless-patch-2.patch 
:-). This patch only contains new drivers.
I hope some bugs on tg3 may be fixed with the new driver. Can some one test it 
and report to the list? I do not have such a card :-(
