Bug#725785: PXE: Couldn't send network packet

[Celelibi]

Package: grub-efi-amd64
Version: 2.00-19
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

With the help of grub-mknetdir I made an image to boot on PXE. It works, the
client could run grub which display the CLI. However, then, for almost every
command I type, it shows an error "couldn't send network packet" after hanging
for a few seconds.

It looks like this bug is known
<https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815962>, and have been fixed
upstream in revision 5066.

I therefore politely ask if an upstream backport could be considered. ^^

Best regards,

Celelibi
