I've tried that with another card in the same family (NetXtreme II
BCM57800 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet [14e4:168a]) and it does indeed not
work.

With these cards, that's not an option. I haven't tried snponly.efi,
but undionly.kpxe doesn't work. It stops executing after loading the
UNDI ROM saying "Try to free Memory without Signature_". I assume this
is a bug (or bad memory usage assumption) in the cards' UNDI ROM,
since the message isn't coming from iPXE.
