Subject: [PATCH] change stop condition to avoid infinite loops
4fe85b
4fe85b
In net/net.c there is a while (1) that only exits if there is a stop
4fe85b
condition and more then 10 packages or if there is no package received.
4fe85b
4fe85b
If GRUB is idle and enter in this loop, the only condition to leave is
4fe85b
if it doesn't have incoming packages. In a network with heavy traffic
4fe85b
this never happens.
