I am not a networking expert.  pxelinux means that you load it over
PXE, not that it adds such capabilities?

You can make a PXE binary from GRUB 2.  So GRUB 2 can be transferred
over PXE.  But GRUB cannot access the network after that.  This is
work in progress, but this will not happen the next few months.
