Is the issue specific to the Broadcom (tg3) NIC that you are using?  Are you 
able to reproduce the issue with a different NIC?

There is a replacement tg3 driver by Thomas Miletich that you can try using:

  git remote add mcb30 git://git.ipxe.org/people/mcb30/ipxe.git
  git fetch mcb30
  git checkout -b tg3 mcb30/tg3
  make bin/ipxe.lkrn

This driver hasn't been merged yet; any test reports are welcome.
