This patch implements a search for a specific configuration when the config file is on a remoteserver. It uses the following order: 1) DHCP client UUID option. 2) MAC address (in lower case hexadecimal with dash separators); 3) IP (in upper case hexadecimal) or IPv6; 4) The original grub.cfg file. This procedure is similar to what is used by pxelinux and yaboot: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX#config It is enabled by default but can be disabled by setting the environment variable "feature_net_search_cfg" to "n" in an embedded configuration.
