Forgive me for adding to an old bug. The way I "solved" it for myself is to use the ROM-o-matic gpxe boot ISO at this URL:
http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-0.9.6/contrib/rom-o-matic/build.php?version=0.9.6&F=&arch=i386&nic=gpxe%3Aall-drivers&ofmt=ISO+bootable+image+(.iso)&A=Configure

If the above link is an old version by the time you read this, just go to http://rom-o-matic.net/ and choose the right version. Then in the list of "NIC/ROM type", choose "gpxe:all-drivers".

That ISO provides wide support for the full list of supported NICs (it seems). It has worked well for me on many computers, even really old ones. It works great for KVM. Just boot off it and it'll PXE-boot for you.

Not a fix, just a workaround.
