Subject: [PATCH] change stop condition to avoid infinite loops
f725e3
f725e3
In net/net.c there is a while (1) that only exits if there is a stop
f725e3
condition and more then 10 packages or if there is no package received.
f725e3
f725e3
If GRUB is idle and enter in this loop, the only condition to leave is
f725e3
if it doesn't have incoming packages. In a network with heavy traffic
f725e3
this never happens.
