It's not actually true.  It's possible to take a Linux driver as the 
starting point for creating an iPXE driver, but it's not just a case of 
copying and pasting.

undionly.kpxe uses an UNDI driver provided by the NIC's own PXE 
firmware.  In your case, it sounds as though there is no existing PXE 
firmware, so that won't work.

What are the PCI vendor:device IDs for this NIC?
