So the MAC address used by windows 2k8, xp and linux is equal to the
one used by gPXE?

I can't really think of a reason why WinPE would reverse the MAC
address(assuming you use the same driver as in XP, 2k8, or at least
used the same version before I suggested the update).
I also don't understand why networking in WinPE 3.0 works and why it
doesn't in WinPE 2.1.(assuming you used the same machine for both
tests, with both WinPE versions using the same MAC address).

Please tell us the MAC address used by WinPE. That way we can check if
WinPE is really using a reversed MAC address, or if that one is
actually the correct one. The MAC address should start with a prefix
specific to your mainboard/NIC manufacturer.
