Thanks for replying Thomas. The reason I'm wanting to use gpxe is because it allows me to statically assign an IP without having to use DHCP(which isn't available in this context.) Using the built-in pxe puts me back at being dependent on DHCP. I have been able to chainload gpxe from syslinux which works with these NICs and allows static assignment but then the chainloaded gpxe still needs its own NIC driver for network access so that doesn't really get me anywhere. So I'm trying to utilize gpxe in a situation where A; There's no driver available for it and B; DHCP isn't available. Maybe that just isn't possible at this point in time. Any other thoughts?
