(Those are pointers in the debug messages rather than PCI IDs.)

I wonder if the problem is that you already have an EFI driver attached to the 
PCI device, so EFI never offers it to iPXE for consideration.  (This wouldn't 
be a problem under the old PCI enumeration model, which would happily start 
resetting and reprogramming devices that EFI had already attached to.)

Could you try the "devices", "devtree" and "drivers" commands from the EFI 
shell (not the iPXE shell)?
